compile error: compat-wireless-2009-06-03

[Bringfried Stecklum]

When trying to compile the latest compat-wireless package on an Ubuntu 8.10
64bit system running linux kernel 2.6.27-12 I get the following error

stecklum@extragalactix:~/System/src/compat-wireless-2009-06-03$ make

That's rfkill, not sure what to do about it.

Yes, i saw the error too - I just git-format-patch'ed the rfkill
commit from wireless-testing and reverted it in compat-wireless.  Then
compat-wireless built and worked ok.

The rfkill commit changed a two files (an include/net/* and an
Kconfig) which doesn't exist in compat-wireless (I just press return
to skip during the revert). I suppose the include will need to go to
the top of whatever files needing it, the Kconfig part will need to go
to config.mk ... but I haven't looked in detail and other change may
be needed.

The commit is this:
