To All,

Well I solved my versioning problem with wireless-tools rather easily, it turns out I had an older wireless.h outside of the kernel source tree (/usr/include/linux/wireless.h) that debian installed as part of the lib6-dev package, so I replaced that with the newer version included in the kernel.

Unfortunately that didn't solve my core problem of not being able to route between wlan0 and eth0 (I've been using the nat functionality provided by iptables with the non-routable 192.168.1.0/24 for that). I ended up having to downgraded to Prism2-2002-05-16 at which point everything started working perfectly again.

I did forget to mention in my previous mail that I'm using a D-Link DWL-520 card (Prism 2.5 based PCI card) on the hostap machine and a D-Link DWL-650 Prism 2.5 based pcmcia card on the client machine.
