Well, I recall having compiled (but not boot tested) patches,
on my x86_64 dev machine with a .config containing :

# grep WIRELESS_EXT .config
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y
# grep COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES .config
CONFIG_COMPAT_NETLINK_MESSAGES=y

Cannot remember if I compiled v3 of the patch, to be honest.

Thanks
