This patch breaks compatibility with older kernels (2.6.32 in my case ;-).

Is this intended? If I try to compile this I get

..../compat-include/linux/ethtool.h:49: error: implicit declaration of function '__ethtool_get_settings'

I stumbled across this when I tried to update and test my patches for dat and bla due to the feedback I received after I updated the master branch.

Please note that we don't plan to support these dinosaurs (2.6.*) anymore. With the next release we are going to drop support for kernels older than 3.2.
