Yes, I have a clean interfaces file.. only with uncommented lines..

I have an Android phone and others 2 notebooks (one Ubuntu and other
Windows).. in all of this did not found any "voyage" wireless network

Thanks for ip suite tools.. I did not know this! :)
with "ip link set wlan0 up", results no output.. *but "ip addr" outputs
this:*
6: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:42:51:b1:b4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.1.10.1/24 brd 10.1.10.255 scope global wlan0

got ip, but the network still not appearing in other devices... (maybe
because "state DOWN" ?)
Can be a issue with pigtail or antennas?

Thanks! (and sorry for my english)
