Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  As part of the linux-backports-modules package, we periodically
  provide an updated compat-wireless stack.  linux-backports-modules
  already has pending pull requests to add the 2.6.36 compat-wireless
  stack to both Lucid and Maverick LBM. It's come to our attention that
  future requests for newer versions of the compat-wireless stack will
  be coming down the pipeline.  In preparation, add infrastructure to
  start tracking the 2.6.37 compat-wireless stack for Lucid and
  Maverick.

  Impact:
  There is no impact at the moment as we're just adding the infrastructure to enable the 2.6.37 compat-wireless stack.  We will wait to actually enable and build it until 2.6.37 is final.  However, once we do enable this, linux-backports-modules is an elective install and a 2.6.37 compat-wireless update hasn't existed previously, so there should be no risk of regression.

  Test Case: Enable the ability to build the compat-wireless-2.6.37
  stack in the linux-backports-modules package and confirm that a 2.6.37
  compat-wireless binary is created.
