The interface to the wi driver has changed.  A few ioctls, etc.  This is a 
result of pulling the 802.11 code out of the wi driver and into a separate 
802.11 networks layer.

I and a few others on the current- list wrote preliminary patches to get 
dstumbler working, but none of us could get the full functionality.  Though, 
admittedly, none of us really gave it our all....  Another fellow said he'd 
gotten the program to work completely, though his patches had no effect for 
me, etc.

You're more likely to get good answers about this on the current- list; mobile 
in my experience is mostly -stable users.
