[Voyage-linux] Watchdog issue

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi Sasa,

Yes, exactly.  Download the deb by wget, run "dpkg -i <kernel deb>", and 
reboot.

If you are using madwifi-ng driver, download and install the module deb 
as well.
    
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/madwifi/madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15-486-voyage_0.svnr1491.20060403-1+2.0-10_i386.deb

If you don't know what it is going to do, do not upgrade it.
