compat-wireless-old currently disables support for 2.6.22 because of a kernel crash you get if its enabled. The oops is below and the exact line where it hits is showed as well: 


<code>wme_qdiscop_dequeue+0x120
__qdisc_run
ieee80211_send_probe_req+0x1a0
ieee80211_send_probe_req+0x1a0
dev_queue_xmit+0x218
ieee80211_sta_scan_work+0xe6
ieee80211_sta_scan_work+0x0
run_workqueue+0x81</code>
Using gdb to get the exact culprit: 


<code>mcgrof@tesla /lib/modules/2.6.22-15-generic/updates/net/mac80211 $ gdb mac80211.ko

(gdb) l *(wme_qdiscop_dequeue+0x120)
0x18a20 is in wme_qdiscop_dequeue (/home/mcgrof/devel/compat-wireless-2.6/net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h:768).
warning: Source file is more recent than executable.
763     static inline struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *
764     IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(struct net_device *dev)
765     {
766             struct ieee80211_local *local = wdev_priv(dev->ieee80211_ptr);
767     
768             BUG_ON(!local || local->mdev == dev);
769     
770             return netdev_priv(dev);
771     }
772     
(gdb) </code>
So line 768 is the culprit.
