[Voyage-linux] New testing kernel and other packages

[Punky Tse]

I had built a new kernel for upcoming release and is available for 
testing purpose.  You can either download the deb file or apt-get by 
pointing to "unstable" repository.  From now on, there will be two 
kernel versions. 2.6.8 and 2.6.11:
kernel-image-2.6.8-486-voyage_2.0-2_i386.deb 
<http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/kernel/kernel-image-2.6.8-486-voyage_2.0-2_i386.deb> 

kernel-image-2.6.11-486-voyage_2.0-2_i386.deb 
<http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/kernel/kernel-image-2.6.11-486-voyage_2.0-2_i386.deb> 


Download:
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/kernel/

APT repository (/etc/apt/sources.list):
deb http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable ./

Change log:
kernel-image-2.6.8-486-voyage_2.0-2 / kernel-image-2.6.11-486-voyage_2.0-2
    - Support module unload ( requested by Matthias Lemke )
    - sc520_wdt ported from 2.6.12 ( suggested by Pablo Osun )
    - madwifi_20050712 MAIN branch (merged from BSD branch supported for 
adhoc mode)
    - hostap 0.3.9 driver
kernel-image-2.6.8-486-voyage_2.0-1 / kernel-image-2.6.11-486-voyage_2.0-1
    - USB support
    - Bluetooth support
    - Remove ipw2100 module, which is available in separate kernel 
module package

Note:
- There are kernel modules and packages in the unstable repository: ipw2100, ipw2200, madwifi-tools and ndiswrapper.
- New madwifi utility is now available in madwifi-tools, originated from marlow.dk.  There is conflict between madwifi-tools and madwifi package in the old repository. Existing madwifi module shouild be removed before install madwifi-tools.
- sc520_wdt has not be tested for soekris 45xx series.
- There has been some reports that madwifi is unstable as read from madwifi mailing list.  I have tested master mode and did not experience kernel panic so far.  
- madwifi adhoc mode should now be supported properly.  Test is needed for verification.
