wireless_tools >= 20 and kernel 2.0.x

[Adam Smith]

Does that mean that tools >= 20 are not tested anymore on kernel 2.0.x, or
that there are known problems that can unpredictably show up under certain
circumstances?
I think there would be problems with librarys and whatnot
if you can i would see to upgrade to 2.2.20
