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

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Drew,

I think you are using older than 0.2 version?  May be 0.2preX? If you 
look at the voyage-0.2 distro tar ball, you can see the following config 
in /etc/interfaces

#auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet static
#        address 10.1.20.1
#        netmask 255.255.255.0
#        broadcast 10.1.20.255
#         madwifi-base wifi0
#         wireless-mode Master
#        up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
#        up iwconfig ath0 mode master
#        up iwconfig ath0 essid voyage
#        up iwconfig ath0 txpower auto
#        up iwconfig ath0 enc off
#        up iwconfig ath0 rate auto
#        up nat.sh ath0 eth0 "10.1.20.0/24"

Remove the line where inappropriate.  Try the above config to see if it 
works.
