Subject: nl80211 not found

Hello everyone,

I recently installed command "iw" in order to use mesh capability in my
wireless card.
iw itself and its required library were installed successfully. But
whenever I run the command "iw", this message appears "nl80211 not found."

My linux is ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with kernel 2.6.27
My wireless card: Pro/wireless 2200BG Network connection with ipw2200
driver.

Can you give me some suggestions?

Thank very much in advance.

Thierry

Your hardware does not support mesh mode, and the driver doesn't
support nl80211 anyway.
