[Voyage-linux] error in madwifi-tools

[Toth Szabolcs]

Dear Tse,

The working version is the madwifi 20050105-1 which was included in the
voyage0.1sarge version.

The voyage-0.2pre1 use the kernel-image-2.6.8-486-voyage_2.0-2 and
madwifi_20050712. This combination is useless for my card.

I used the downloadable version from both dists and I changed nothing on
them.
