oops - wrong component

There's an error in the dolib line, it says:
dolib libiw.so.23 libiw.a

and it should be:
dolib libiw.so.25 libiw.a

Also note that wireless-tools complains that the card/device uses a 
different version of Wireless Extensions, that's because 
sys-kernel/linux-headers has V12 of Wireless Extensions while actual kernels 
have V13. To solve this one must copy 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/wireless.h to /usr/include/linux as mentioned 
in the wireless-tools home page. I think linux-headers ebuild should be 
updated too.

Regards,
Pau.

The version 25 ebuild should be umasked asap because kernel 2.4.20 uses wireless
extensions 14 and tools24 only support extension13 .. Basicly kernel 2.4.20 more
or less needs version 25..
