+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
+GNU gdb 6.8-debian

+(gdb) l *(wme_qdiscop_dequeue+0x120)
+x18a20 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.
+     static inline struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *
+     IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(struct net_device *dev)
+     {
+             struct ieee80211_local *local = wdev_priv(dev->ieee80211_ptr);
+
+             BUG_ON(!local || local->mdev == dev);
+
+             return netdev_priv(dev);
+     }
+
+(gdb) </code>
+So line 768 is the culprit.
