[Voyage-linux] atl2 module?

[Frank Parker]

voyage-0.6.2 does not have the necessary atl1c module.

$ cd ~/Downloads/voyage-0.6.2/lib/modules/2.6.26-486-voyage
$ grep atl modules.pcimap
atl1e                0x00001969 0x00001026

So I grabbed the daily snapshot last night.  It's using kernel 2.6.30
and has the module I need.

$cd ~/Downloads/voyage-current/lib/modules/2.6.30-voyage
$ grep atl modules.pcimap
atl2                 0x00001969 0x00002048
atl1                 0x00001969 0x00001048
atl1e                0x00001969 0x00001026
atl1e                0x00001969 0x00001066
atl1c                0x00001969 0x00001063 <---- that's me!
atl1c                0x00001969 0x00001062

So I installed to a USB flash drive and it works now.  Thanks again
for all the help!
