Subject: Re: compile error iw on centos 5
The wireless stack in RHEL 5 (and therefore CentOS 5) is rather old.
I'm not sure that trying to run an updated iw on it will be a fruitful

I've tried 4 different versions of iw*.tar.bz2 but all give compile
errors that i can't resolve. The last one I tried was iw-0.9.1 but
make gives:
