Comment 41 for bug 1173761

Tried to compile the driver (as per comment #25) under 3.10.9 kernel. Results are as per comment #37, since the driver source uses create_proc_entry(), that was deprecated in favor of proc_create()

After reverting to kernel 3.9.5, the compilation was successful , with one warning:

Unfortunately, although the system now recognizes the wi-fi card, and can even show hotspots in the area, connection is not successful (at least using wep64).

It did connect to someone's unsecured hotspot.
