[Voyage-linux] Bridging problem with 0.6.2

[Punky Tse]

Hi Edwin,

I tested 0.6.2 with the following bridge configuration supplied with 
slightly modification for my env.  My iPhone can associate to it 
successfully and can do some decent transfers.  Perhaps you add "iwpriv 
ath0 wds 1" to enable four-way handshaking?
========================
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
       address 192.168.1.77
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.1.0
       broadcast 192.168.1.255
       gateway 192.168.1.1
        bridge_ports eth0 ath0
       pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
       pre-up iwconfig ath0 essid "voyage-br0" channel 11
       up iwconfig ath0 key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
       up athctrl -i wifi0 -d 
9600                                             
       up iwpriv ath0 mode 
3                                                   
      post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy                                  
========================

Regards,
Punky
