[Voyage-linux] Adding Broadcom 4318 Wireless card to Alix board

[Sean]

You would need to at least do this:

iwconfig wlan0 essid OpenWifi mode Master

Master mode starts the access point functionality.

You should read the readme. It has lots of good info on how to set it up 
as an access point, bridging, etc.
