Actually, it's impossible. New userspace can work across both
version, old userspace fails on new version.
The whole point of the -rc process is to find problems and the
scope of it, there is no way I can know everything. At this point, we
can decide if WE-21 should go in 2.6.19 or wait for 2.6.20. But I know
that most Linux-Wireless people such as Dan and Jouni have been
waiting impatiently for those changes...
It would be nice if need of a specific version of wireless tools was
documented in Documentaion/Changes. It was a surprise for me when my
wireless card stopped working.
