Bug Description

linux-kernel-headers has version 17 of the wireless extensions. Dapper's kernel uses version 19. This breaks some applications (see bug #35666).

Could you please update linux-kernel-headers with a newer version of <linux/wireless.h> before Dapper goes out?

thx for fixing it in edgy.

What can we do dapper? I tried replacing the wireless.h and recompiled the edgy packages on dapper, but again the error from above.

root@todesstern:~# wavemon
fatal error: could not get range information

thx for help
