[Voyage-linux] The Road to 0.3

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

I don't rule out the possibility for not updating 0.2 repository. 

As long as the madwifi-ng is proved stable and a security fix for 
kernel, I may provide it on request.  I think the kernel one would be 
foreseeable, the latest madwifi-ng driver is still unstable in WDS mode.
