	Simple, iwconfig report what the driver tells, not the
kernel. So, we know that the driver was compiled with WE-15.
	The message "Invalid Wireless Event" is definitely comming
from a kernel with WE-14, in WE-15 and later is was changed to
"Invalid/Unknown Wireless Event". So, the kernel was compiled with
WE-14.
	I'll try to improve that slightly in the next version.

	Correct, the user just need to recompile and install the
patched kernel. I'll "improve" the web page.
	Note : I'm not sure if it will do anything to the hang, that
may be another story.

	Have fun...
