Your system's nl80211.h is too old. There are two possible solutions. 1 is to
disable the toolbar in this situation. 2 is to disable channel type but keep
the toolbar. I'm away from home for about a week so don't expect something to
happen before that.
Can you attach your nl80211.h, it's in /usr/include/linux.
