See http://www.rabbitmq.com/specification.html#release-version-mapping

In short:

- any version of any client we have ever released should work with a 
broker >= 2.2.0

- clients >= 2.2.0 will only work with brokers >= 2.2.0, except for the 
.net client which can speak to older brokers if configured to speak AMQP 
0-8.

I am curious what issues you are referring to regarding the 1.6.x .net 
client and 2.2.x brokers.

Matthias.
