[Voyage-linux] Compiling compat-wireless

[David Murray]

Thanks for doing that Punky,

The new kernel image installed fine and it seems to recognise the 
hardware which is great. I have not extensively tested it but one thing 
I noticed is that the serial output from my device (ALIX) during bootup 
was missing. See below. So usually you see all the bootup lines flying 
past as the device boots but in the new image it was just replaced with 
a �. I presume is it just a serial line speed thing.

Thanks again,
Dave
