This is because of the updated drivers in the new errata kernel. Is there an updated version of the Wireless-Tools for RH8? I know the latest for RH9 is 25-8 (or something like that). Just tried the wireless-tools for RH9 in my RH8 (with updated Kernel) and everything is working fine and there is no more warning message. This is not going to be fixed for that release at this point; it's fixed in current development trees for the kernel shipped there. |
