Of course it's still there.  iwconfig was compiled with version 14.  The
driver was compiled with version 15.  If you compile another version of
driver, it's still compiled with version 15.  It shouldn't be surprising.
If you want to fix this warning, you should recompile iwconfig rather than
the driver.

The latest beta version of Wireless Tools (27.pre22) doesn't use kernel
headers and shouldn't produce such warning.  For older versions, see the
top-level Makefile for the kernel path.

This wifi0 question should be in FAQ already, but since it's not, I'll
answer.  It doesn't work like ethX interfaces.  You probably shouldn't use
it at all.  It's used by the driver internally, as described in README.

Use wlan0 instead.  It works like ethX (at least when hostap is not in the
monitor mode).
