[Voyage-linux] New Voyage kernel 2.0-8

[Punky Tse]

I have just updated 2.6.15 kernel (2.0-8) to voyage unstable repository.

kernel-image-2.6.15-486-voyage_2.0-8_i386.deb
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/kernel/kernel-image-2.6.15-486-voyage_2.0-8_i386.deb 


I am not going to maintain 2.6.8 and 2.6.12 anymore unless there is 
serious stability problem in 2.6.15.  Another important thing is that 
voyage kernel image no longer includes madwifi driver.  Instead, they 
are available in separate modules:

madwifi-ng modules:
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/madwifi/madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15-486-voyage_0.9.0+svn1408-1+2.0-8_i386.deb

madwifi modules (not tested):
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/madwifi/madwifi-module-2.6.15-486-voyage_20060124-1-sample+2.0-8_i386.deb

APT repository (/etc/apt/sources.list):
deb http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable ./

Download:

Since the old madwifi will be left in /lib/module/2.6.15-486-voyage, it 
is better to remove it first and then install it back.  
    # remountrw; apt-get upgrade
    # apt-get remove kernel-image-2.6.15-486-voyage madwifi-tools
    # apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.15-486-voyage
    # apt-get install madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15-486-voyage

Change log (1 Feb 2006):
