Hi,

you can probably remove this warning message by upgrading your 
'wireless-tools' package. However, in most cases, this warning message 
is not harmful and the source of the problem is most likely somewhere else.

Could you please send at support at linuxant.com the output of 'dumpdiag'? 
Type the following in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp 
('driverloaderdiag.txt'). It'll help us solve the problem.

Regards,
