[driverloader] iwconfig - SET failed on device

[CSTan]

Hello,
Working with Intersil PrismGT mini-pci 11g driver. After loading the module,
check the wireless interface by iwconfig:

#iwconfig eth0

Warning: Driver for device eth0 has been compiled with version 13
of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 15.
Some things may be broken...
Warning: Driver for device eth0 recommend version 15 of Wireless Extension,
but has been compiled with version 13, therefore some driver features
may not be available...
eth0 PRISM Duette ESSID:"uAP"
Mode:Master Frequency:2.437GHz Bit Rate:54Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Some warning message, but basically the card is able to work in AP mode.
Try changing the SSID:

# iwconfig eth0 essid myAP
# iwconfig eth0
Warning: Driver for device eth0 has been compiled with version 13
of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 15.

eth0 PRISM Duette ESSID:"myAP"
Mode:Master Frequency:2.437GHz Bit Rate:54Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

SSID able to change successfully. But when I try to change the bit rate,
encryption and txpower:

# iwconfig eth0 rate auto
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.

# iwcofig enc 1234-5678

# iwconfig eth0 txpower 15mW

Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) :

Apparently the command is not working well. Any idea on this?
