[Voyage-linux] voyage & emp/nmp-8602 woes

[Drew]

After updating the kernel to 2.6.15, it works now:

ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.

# dpkg-query --show |  grep madwifi
madwifi-ng-modules-2.6.15-486-voyage    0.svnr1491.20060403-1+2.0-10
madwifi-ng-tools        0.svnr1491.20060403-1

from /etc/network/interfaces:

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
        address 172.27.0.10
        netmask 255.255.255.252
        broadcast 172.27.0.11
        pre-up wlanconfig ath0 destroy
        pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
        pre-up iwconfig ath0 essid "aw1-mpci" channel 01 rate auto rts 
off frag off      
        pre-up sleep 3
        up ifconfig ath0 up

The only problem left is that ath0 isn't coming up in ifconfig, no 
matter what I add in interfaces...
