[Voyage-linux] Wireless setup wiki?

[Ian Holm]

Alright, details of what I'm trying to do.
I'm using voyage 0.6.1 which is installed on a 1gb CF drive. It's more or
less a clean install with little modification. I have a Gigabyte GN-WPEAG
wireless card that uses one of the supported Atheros drivers, not sure which
one but I've looked it up and verified that it is supported before.  So far
all I've done is uncommented the ath0 block for madwifi in the
/etc/network/interfaces file and changed 'wifi1' to 'wifi0' in the
madwifi-base line. I am trying to use this with DHCP and WPA-PSK. Since I'm
using DHCP, I left the last line in the interfaces block pertaining to
nat.sh commented because I figured that was related to using a static IP
address. I haven't done anything with /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf yet and
haven't found any documentation on what changes need to be made there. Your
email is the first I've heard about it. I believe these are all the
important details for my situation. Hope this helps. Thanks.
