[Voyage-linux] Documentation for madwifi in voyage 0.6.0 lenny release

[Punky Tse]

Hi,

That is simple, edit /etc/network/interfaces with the followings:

iface ath0 inet dhcp
        madwifi-base wifi0
        wireless-mode Managed
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Then run ifup ath0.
