[Voyage-linux] Voyage 0.3 - current (11/16) - Assignment of wifiX --> athX weirdness

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi Edwin,

This is the udev bug I discovered last night.  Use the following hack:

sed -i -e "s/ath/Ath/" /etc/udev/rules.d/z45_persistent-net-generator.rules

and remove /etc/udev/z25_persistent-net.rules, reboot

Please test with the latest voyage-current and voyage-0.3pre1 just released.

Regards,
Punky
