[Voyage-linux] Using WPA-PSK with voyage 0.2 and Atheros chipset(s)

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Robin,

I have encountered the same before 0.2 was released.  You may need to 
make hostapd to use the EAP_VERSION=1.  And the stock voyage-0.2 is able 
to support it.  Please read the following thread for this issue.
    http://www.mail-archive.com/voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk/msg00504.html

Please provide hostapd debug log.  I am not sure your meaning of latest 
version madwifi and hostapd.  Please also provide the version 
information as well.

Regards,
Punky
