[Voyage-linux] q: madwifi-ng driver upgrade ...

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Dusan,

Please dump your iwconfig ath0 and look at link quality stats.  I have 
experienced that the first few transfer you cannot get all the speed, 
but after that you got full speed.  Most of the case if you see 0 link 
quality then it is not in full speed.  When it is in full speed, I can 
see the link quality going up to 50-80 range.  Sometimes, I need to run 
wireless-tools command like "iwlist ath0 scan" to make the tricks. (I 
don't know why, I could be wrong).

If you want the latest kernel driver, you will need to upgrade a new and 
unannounced 2.0-10 kernel as well:
