[Voyage-linux] Atheros AR5001X+ 0.7.5 Alix master AP

[Gustin Johnson]

It has to be in the clear at some point, even if that is only RAM.  If
you really are concerned about this then you should look into the
WPA-Enterprise or WPA-802.1x mode.  It is more complicated to set up,
but you should be able to disable compromised stations without having
to rekey every device.
