I think Im using 25 or 26. (ive tried to make sure everything was the most 
current (I did notice after adding the 2.4.20 source, I ended up with WE 14 
instead of 15...)
I tried and got this:
root at lapdance:~# iwpriv wlan0 dump 7
<mapping sub-ioctl dump to cmd 0x8BE0-7>

Hrmmm... problems! I only have 2 cards. I have tried Network stumbler, and 
aerosol on the windows laptop, but they dont seem to work.
I have another linux hard drive (its pretty small... ) with hostap, and 
orinoco modules on it, but since I dont have it working in linux, how could I 
use a sniffer with it?

This Is what I have:
3 Laptops
2 PCMCIA wireless NIC's (Proxim RangeLan DS)
Hard Drives (hard drives are interchangeable)
1 340 meg Windows98
1 720 meg (Slackware Linux)
1 340 Meg (OpenBSD 3.0) (does detect the card, but I dont know how to 
configure it..., or if it will work if I did...)
1 340 Meg Slackware Linux 
1 workstation running low on diskspace (with no wireless equipment, but 
connected via ethernet..)

I just downloaded the current cvs. maybe I can try it later...

any ideas what I can do with what I have? At the LUG meetings, there is an AP, 
Ive connected to it via windows, it works (but I cant mess with thier AP...)
