[Voyage-linux] Lost communications with Voyage AP...

[Punky Tse]

Jerry

I have tried to understand you problem in these few days, but I got no 
idea because I really don't understand about you network topology.  What 
is the purpose of you network.  And from what prespective (client side, 
within network, which node, etc.) you found it lost communication? Can 
you explain you case use the following diagram?

client ----- (eth0) voyage (br0 or ath0?) ---- (???) StarOS (???)

please highlight some key points so that we are able to help:
- state clearly you interface setup, e.g. what interface you used to 
build the bridge.
- what do you mean by ping from outside?
- what do you mean by official release? voyage-0.1sarge? and kernel 
version? (uname -a)

Thanks,
Punky
