[Voyage-linux] Using WPA-PSK with voyage 0.2 and =?iso-8859-1?q?Atheros=09chipset?=(s)

I'd seen the exchange to which you referred me, but had understood that the 
hostapd version you uploaded was the version I had; "dpkg --list hostapd" 
shows version number 0.5.2-1 installed.  I had downloaded voyage 0.2.  I 
attempted to update  hostapd from the 0.2 repository, but apt-get install 
hostapd returned with a message that no package would be updated because I 
already have the latest version (as with madwifi).

My hostapd.conf file reads:-

interface=ath0
bridge=br0
driver=madwifi
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2
debug=4
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
ssid=[myssid]
auth_algs=1
eapol_key_index_workaround=0
eap_server=0
wpa=3
wpa_psk_file=/etc/hostapd/wpa_psk
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP

The initial output from "hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd.conf" reads;-

Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
ctrl_interface_group=0

On attempting connection with the WG511T in the ThinkPad, I get:-
