Hello,
There is a bug in wireless tools making it crash if you use a 64 bit
kernel with a 32 bit userland (#398018). The upstream author has offered
to release wireless-tools 28.2 containing just a fix for this bug. I
know it is very late, and maybe this is not an issue for the installer
at all. However, upstream thinks it is important, so let me know if you
want this fixed before the release.

Sorry for the delay, I was in the hospital for the birth of my second child. Well, the whole point of 28.2 is to minimise the changes. See attached. I'll try to put in on my web site...
