sadly no, I've tried later versions and even iw-latest.tar.bz2 but each one 
fails to compile with each version giving a different reason for the fail.

Subject: Re: compile error iw on centos 5

The wireless stack in RHEL 5 (and therefore CentOS 5) is rather old.
I'm not sure that trying to run an updated iw on it will be a fruitful
exercise...?

I've tried 4 different versions of iw*.tar.bz2 but all give compile
errors that i can't resolve. The last one I tried was iw-0.9.1 but
make gives:

There is no iw yum package for centos5 that I can find.
I've been searching google but cannot find a solution to the above
error, thanks for any help.
