Thanks Beat,

sunday evening. I and my warp. My wrap and I.
We wanted to try out your madwifi-ng.

I was a long evening, really.

But see:

first i tried to install 0.2a the common way. get the CF, write the CF
and bring back to WRAP (50 meters).
Ping the WRAP ... yeah fine, but ssh said: system boots up, waiting... ?????

ok, waiting 10minutes, same message, gave up.
reflashed with /etc/default/rcS  changed delayed to no.
no message, but ssh did not let me in. why????
sshd_config changed: permit empty passwords...
reflashed (x times 50 meters to go :), but didnt helped.
so i was confused, did it the old way, chroot to /voyage0.2 passwd for
root.. and? ok, i was in.
i didnt understand this procedure. i think, the system estimates a
serial console for change root password? is that right?
ok, now i had the system... wanted to download your stuff and... website
was down. wiki & alpha.
ok, so i go to bed now... but beat, perhaps you can send me a short info:
please load ath_pci with countrycode=276
iwpriv ath0 mode 1 (5 ghz only)
iwpriv ath0 turbo 1 (possible???)
what shows iwlist ath0 chan now?

thanks
