[Voyage-linux] athctrl

[Solomon Asare]

Hi Again,
we seem not to be understanding each other. Both
packages (madwifi & madwifi-tools) have athstats.
apt-get and dpkg are unable to overwrite athstats of
whichever package that is installed first (eg.
madwifi-tools) with the same file (ie. athstats) from
the second package (eg. madwifi).

I am looking into apt-get to see if I can install to a
different directory, then may be copy the files into
the appropriate locations later. Not the most elegant
approach though.
