[Voyage-linux] madwifi-ng drivers

[Clint Ricker]

There isn't a need.  Do a make config on the kernel, take out any 
options to build wireless drivers for Atheros, and then run a make clean 
and then make.  The problem is that some of the headers are getting 
picked up by Madwifi-NG out of the kernel source tree; if you do this, 
it should compile fine.

Thanks,
Clint
