Hi all,

I've just finished building and testing of madwifi modules.  It is now in unstable (or 0.2) repository.  For 
2.6.15-voyage kernel only.

1. As usual, run:
     remountrw
     apt-get update
     apt-get install madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15-486-voyage madwifi-ng-tools

2. Remove old madwifi modules from 2.6.15-voyage kernel
     rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.15-486-voyage/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/*ath*
     rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.15-486-voyage/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/net80211

3. Run "depmod -a"
     depmod -a

4. Update /etc/network/interfaces to add:
     madwifi-base wifi0
     wireless-mode Master

For example, a full interface definition should look like:
     auto ath0
     iface ath0 inet static
         address 10.1.10.1
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         broadcast 10.1.10.255
         madwifi-base wifi0
         wireless-mode Master
         up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
         up iwconfig ath0 mode master
         up iwconfig ath0 essid voyage
         up iwconfig ath0 txpower auto
         up iwconfig ath0 enc off
         up iwconfig ath0 rate auto
         up nat.sh ath0 eth0 "10.1.10.0/24"

Have fun!
