 From what I know,
- 2.6.8 uses WE 16
- 2.6.11 uses WE 17
- voyage uses wireless-tools WT 27, which should support multiple WE 
versions (see 
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html)

The complain is from hostap driver 0.3.9, which expects WE18.

SIOCGIWPRIV problem are explained in madwifi wiki:

>2. I try to use iwlist with Prism2 card and got: "Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 16, therefore some driver features may not be available.." and no scan working. This is I am sure because of very very old version of Wireless Extension - 15, there is 27 currently!
>Also I got the same error message with Prism2 about SIOCGIWPRIV.
>Punky, Please update madwifi, hostap and Wireless Extension to current versions in future releases of Voyage Linux. 
>Also please apply to these drivers injection patch from Aircrack suite.

>About Ideas:
>I think install script should include more optional configurations for WRAP/4801 boards. For example: CF size storage option - if a user has big CF - more tools will install, less storage - min tools; RO/RW option(normal system or with RO/RW); RAM disk option(size configurable).
>As for tools, I think is is a very good idea to include such tools as Aircrack suite(Airodump, Aireplay), Kismet.
>As I mentioned above if a user has big CF(or microdrive) it is a good thing to make normal install without restrictions.
