[Voyage-linux] madwifi weirdness in voyage

[Nuno Ferreira]

Hi,

I'm having the same problems!!
Have you found out more about this problem, hopefully the solution :-) ?

I have a WRAP.1E-2 and the Wistron CM9 is detected as a 5212 by r1611 in
voyage-current (2Jun)

Bad link quality and short range...
