	Congratulation ! You have found a genuine bug in the Wireless
Tools.

	As I probably won't have time to spin a new version of the
tools before a while, do like this :
	1) Open iwspy.c with your favorite editor
	2) Go around line 216 (in set_spy_info())
	3) Change the following line :
-	  wrq.u.data.length = 0;
+	  wrq.u.data.length = IW_MAX_SPY;
	4) Recompile, reinstall

	Thanks, and have fun...

	Jean
