[SOLVED] wlan0 interface disappeared after installing compat

Hello

I was trying to fix the airmon-ng negative channel problem, and someone pointed me to "compat-wireless-patched", avail. in AUR, here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41472

I installed this, makepkg -i etc., and rebooted.. now my wlan0 interface is gone, and I cannot use the wireless at all. It seems to have replaced:

/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko

And the other modules in above iwlwifi folder with it's own version or something.

How do I restore the iwlwifi to get my wifi working again?

I have tried downloading (from my Android phone, and mounting it in Arch):

iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.32.2.9-2-any.pkg.tar.gz
linux-firmware-20100623-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
wireless_tools-29-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz

and mounting the phone in Arch to get them over there etc., but I guess I need to rebuild the modules again somehow. Right now I'm using the USB on the phone as internet.. madly slow :-(

It appears the module is loaded too:

michael@rawr ~> sudo modprobe -l | grep 3945
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko

Thanks for reading :-) - let me know if you need any more information and such.

EDIT I ended up recompiling the kernel and wlan0 showed up again..
