==========================================================

We want to move 0.6.2 to stable as soon as possible in order to start 
0.7 development with a newer kernel.  Tmpfs now replaces aufs, so all 
modification on /var/log etc. will go to tmpfs and sync back to disk at 
shutdown. To sync back to disk manually while running, run:

# remountrw
# /etc/init.d/voyage-sync sync
# remountro

If you want to add more directories to tmpfs, modify VOYAGE_SYNC_DIRS in 
/etc/default/voyage-util.  Madwifi driver is upgraded to r4022 trunk 
with free hal. However, "stuck beacon" issue still exists in madwifi 
driver when running AP mode. Fall back to stable 0.9.4rc2 version by:

# wget 
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.6/madwifi/madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage_0.9.4~rc2-1+6.0-3_i386.deb
# apt-get install 
madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage_0.9.4~rc2-1+6.0-3_i386.deb
