[Voyage-linux] Please help me find ath_pci

Hello,

I have installed 0.5.2 on a new ALIX6b2. I use a standard Atheros card 
and a wireless modem. To support the wireless modem I had to compile 
the kernel with support for it - by following the description in the Wiki. 
It all went fine except that there were a lot of error when I installed the 
new kernel (using dpkg -i). The errors was due to missing locale for Perl 
and led to a non-working setup. I fixed it by replacing the soft links in 
the root for vmlinuz and initrd.img. 

My problem now is that the original kernel lacks support for my wireless 
modem and my new kernel has lost support for the Atheros card. When 
doing a diff of the output of 'lsmod' between the old and new kernels, 
I can see that the following modules are missing from the new kernel: 
ath_rate_sample, ath_pci, wlan & ath_hal.

I have rerun 'make menuconfig' and tried to find these modules but I 
simply can't find them. I am using these files:

http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.5/linux/linux-source-2.6.23-voyage_5.0-2_all.deb
http://www.voyage.hk/download/kernel_config/config-2.6.23-486-voyage_5.0-2

Any help is appreciated.

/Martin
