When net.ath0 starts I get:
Code:

Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...


I have:
net-wireless/wireless-tools-28
net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.3-r3
sys-kernel/ck-sources-2.6.21_p1-r1

Thanks a lot for information

I get the same warning on my laptop with an ipw3945 based card:
Code:

Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...


Thanks

Because you're running 2.6.21. You can either put up with the message (it's harmless), or update wireless-tools.
