[Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux 0.7.0 (27-May-2011 build) and WPA_Supplicant

[Gustin Johnson]

You may wish try simplifying your wpa_supplicant.conf

Try removing everything except the ssid and psk lines.  Then add the
other variables in one at a time until you figure out which line is
giving you the invalid argument error.

You may also wish to try a 2.4 Ghz channel to start with.  I have not
checked in a while, but there used to be issues with 5Ghz channels in
AP mode for some drivers (most of the open ones).
