I saw that older versions of Voyage-Linux had the Atheros (madwifi) 
driver *in* the kernel, is that right? That would allow PXE boot over 
WiFi I guess.

I now just took the 2.6.15 kernel plus patches plus config and then set 
the National Semiconductor Ethernet driver to be non-modular. That was 
the only thing needed (as far as I remember) that needed to be modified.

The rest was PXE server configuration (which can be tricky due to a mix 
of DHCP, PXELINUX, /etc/hosts.allow/deny, TFTP, NFS), kernel command 
line options (so that the Voyage Linux kernel booted over PXE will 
actually mount its root FS from the NFS server).

Dunno, I found the wiki simple to work with and it looks user friendly. 
I have no experience with wiki backends so I really cannot advise.
