Hi Tom,
I am going to snip parts of your message out. Not that I don't think it is
important, but more so I can concentrate on one thing.

3. Although the versions of madwifi and wireless-tools in SL 5.3 should
be more current than I installed on the 32 bit system, the warning about
version mismatch for the 64 bit system suggests otherwise. This I don't
understand.

This has me concerned because this isn't the first time I've seen this message.
I'm worried that perhaps the machine I am compiling these on has a wrong
version of a package or two. Despite my efforts I am not the greatest wireless
expert and it's possible I'm doing something wrong with the compiling. From
what I can tell, my 32 bit and 64 bit compile area's are the same for wireless.
But maybe I am looking at the wrong packages.
Does anyone know where I should start looking to track down this error? Or
even if there is anything I can do to fix it?
Troy
