[Voyage-linux] Wireless setup wiki?

[Ian Holm]

So I tried setting it to managed mode and then running 'wpa_supplicant
-iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext and it didn't give
me the same error as before but it still complains about the link being
down. I did 'ip link set ath0 up' and ran wpa_supplicant again but it still
failed. I also tried 'ifup ath0' and it seems that's the script that's
creating the message:

Operation not permitted
Failed bringing up ath0

Am I missing some kind of step here?
