Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Finally got round to testing...
Updating the RHEL3 wireless-tools RPM with the changes suggested by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does allow me to use iwpriv again.
I used the following patch to wireless-tools:

}}}
This, together with the changes from changeset 1703, allow me to compile
and use 0.9.2.1 on RHEL3, using the dkms packages provided by Dag Wieers
Stability seems good, as it has been running for over 2 hours without a
disconnection, which is much better than I had been getting on any
previous snapshots after 2006-01-28.
