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

[Robin Levett]

Punky

I lied!  I've just tried again (but must now go to work).

I've used the wpa_psk=[64 hex characters generated by the wpa_passphrase 
utility] parameter in the hostapd.conf file (and commented out the 
wpa_psk_file parameter); still no help.  The handshake still fails at stage 
1/4.

Regards and thanks - will get back to it this (GMT) evening.

Robin
