I guess I have to build iw against >=2.6.27-rcX kernel headers, right?
Actually this one is new in wireless-testing, I have a branch you can
build against 2.6.27 but it's not very up-to-date.

Any ideas how to handle this are welcome. Should it just ship the header
file? I'd prefer not to, otoh doing it isn't really harmful because when
adding a new command clearly you need to edit iw sources.

IMO that's the best thing to do - in fact, that's exactly why I
branched. Distros likely won't ship kernel headers that don't match
the kernel binaries and sources. (This is likely why Debian is
shipping my branched version, rather than the official.)
