[Voyage-linux] pcmcia modem module not in voyage kernel

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Michael,

- Did you install 
madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15-486-voyage_0.svnr1611.20060527-1+3.0-1_i386.deb 
as well?
- You may also need 
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/madwifi/madwifi-ng-tools_0.svnr1611.20060527-1_i386.deb
- Can you show me "dmesg | grep svn"?
