There are a few things to do if you really want to build the driver for
2.6.20.  Off the top of my head:

1) set 'skb->dev = ...' in libertas_upload_rx_packet() in rc.c to ensure
the skb device is correct, which kernels < 2.6.22 don't do  (patch
attached)
2) you'll run into an undefined radiotap flag (patch attached)
3) sysfs classdev changes in main.c and possibly debugfs.c (I don't have
patch for this any more)
