 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:
