[Voyage-linux] Compiling compat-wireless

[David Murray]

Hi Punky,

It would be great if you could put the modules into the next voyage 
kernel. Show below is the output of an lsmod on a 2.6.32-5-686 kernel.   
I believe that the key modules are:

rndis_wlan, rndis_host, cdc_ether, usbnet, cdc_acm, ohci_hcd, ehci_hcd

Thanks for your help also Gustin, I am currently working with the 
standard deb kernel.

Cheers
Dave
