[Voyage-linux] Long distance Wifi tuning

[Edwin Whitelaw]

Obviously the WEP commands wouldn't be in your setup.  Much of our 
network predates WPA.

Example:
----------
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
        address 10.220.209.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 10.220.209.255
        gateway 10.220.209.1
        madwifi-base wifi0
        wireless-mode Managed
        wireless-key s:xxxxxxxxxxxx
        wireless-essid buffalo-fnb
        up athctrl -i wifi0 -d 5600
        down wlanconfig ath0 destroy

HTH,

Edwin
