[Voyage-linux] Please help me find ath_pci

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Nakarin & Martin,

Why the voyage kernel is not enough but you have to compile your own?  
If you need feature added to the kernel, please adding it to feature 
request in wiki:
    http://wiki.voyage.hk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=feature_request

Tell my why and I will explain how to build kernel module, but this is 
the just standard debian way. 

Regards,
Punky
