Regarding the PITA I can totally agree.. anyway, I tried
wireless_tools.27.tar.gz
wireless_tools.23.tar.gz
wireless_tools.20.tar.gz
wireless_tools.24.tar.gz
And nothing did work.
I'm now trying to patch the kernel with a file I happened to see in
the "installation CD" I got along with the stuff I'm working on. In
parallel I'll have a look at the section you are telling me about and
check if anything useful comes out..
I'll let you know; if you have any hints let me know...
