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

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Robin,

Not sure if I am wrong, but I wonder WPA is supported in Win98SE.  
Looking at the netgear support/download page, and it seems that you need 
a additional FUNK software for the supplicant.

Or should you use wpa_supplicant for windows?
