I have a Senao 2511CD card. My hostap drivers seems to detect the
card, but whenever i run iwconfig, i get a:
Warning: Driver for device wifi0 recommend version 18 of Wireless
Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some
driver features may not be available...

error. I believe this is preventing me from associating with the AP. I
have the latest upgrades of everything. I am using Breezey Badger with
the following kernel modules:
linux-image-2.6.12-10-686
linux-tree-2.6.12

Does anyone have any suggestions to get this to work? I would imagine
I would have to upgrade Wireless Extension to 18 or downgrade the
wifi0 driver to version 17, but I don't know what is the best way.

Does anyone know how to do this or find some other workaround?

Answer

There is no answer at this time.

I get this error, and my card works.  I think you may need to provide
more information to get an answer.  Do you get anything after the
error when you enter iwconfig?
