[Voyage-linux] Compiling compat-wireless

[Gustin Johnson]

There is no need to download and install Squeeze into a VM.  You just
have to install the squeeze kernel instead of the voyage one.  This is
pretty straight forward to do:

apt-get install linux-image-686

If this does not work, you may have to install a more specific package
name, such as:
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-5-686

There are other kernel packages for other architectures that may be
more appropriate.  The 686 works for my Alix (Geode x86 CPU) boards.

Hth,
