hi, maybe is not the correct place to post this, but wireless tools are 
not wokring properly in my linux box (kernel 2.6.4):

ive downloaded the wireless tools:
wireless_tools.26.tar.gz

any idea?

when compiling:
home:/usr/local/src/wireless_tools.26# make
gcc -O2 -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes      -c iwlib.c
iwlib.c:40: warning: #warning "Wireless Extension earlier than v16 detected,"
iwlib.c:41: warning: #warning "Not all tools features will be compiled in !"
iwlib.c:42: warning: #warning "No worry, I'll try to make the best of it ;-)"
