Wireless Extensions and Opie-wellenreiter

I posted this to opie-devel earlier. Packaging problem?
--------------
I don't know whether this is a bug or not, but I am posting it here for anyone who might know.
Using the feed available at familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.8.2/feed/, I upgraded to the 1.2.0 packages of opie. I realized that this is not yet officially released, but I like testing these things.
The handheld is an h3835, familiar packages are also upgraded to the 0.8.2/feed latest, and the kernel is 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh37
The problem shows up with this code from wellenreiter.cpp:
------------------------
 // check if wireless extension version matches
        if ( ONetwork::wirelessExtensionCompileVersion() != iface->wirelessExtensionDriverVersion() )
        {
            QMessageBox::critical( this, "Wellenreiter II", tr( "<p>The Wireless Extension Versions<br>do not match!<p>"
                                    " Wellenreiter II : WE V%1<br>Interface driver: WE V%2" )
                                    .arg( QString::number( ONetwork::wirelessExtensionCompileVersion() ) )
                                    .arg( QString::number( iface->wirelessExtensionDriverVersion() ) ) );
            return;
        }
-------------------------

With the latest libopienet2.so.1.8.4 wellenreiter fails with the Extension Versions do not match error (V17/V16), reverting to an older version of libopienet2.so.1.8.4 makes wellenreiter happy again.
I think the Version 27 Wireless tools are less paranoid about different wireless extensions than the older tools, but wellenreiter seems broken with this situation anyway.

If I'm confused here, let me know.
