I assume you mean 2.4.18.. However, I would not call it standard, if it
results in following errors:

These are new functions used in wireless extensions versions 16 and
later. Linux 2.4.18 does not include those and Host AP driver should not
call them when compiled with header files from the kernel release. It
looks like your linux/wireless.h is claiming wireless extensions version
later than 15, but rest of your kernel does not include matching
functionality.
