[Voyage-linux] Voyage 0.8.0 - "Route add" command doesn't work

[Gustin Johnson]

It does not use the whole range because the gateway (it's own) IP has
to be outside that range.  Unless of course the netmask is 255.255.0.0
then perhaps it does use all of 192.168.1.XXX.  It is probably a good
idea to confirm the actual DHCP range as well as the netmask.

You can also configure the /etc/network/interfaces by pulling the CF
card and mounting it on another machine (likely the one you used to
install to the CF card in the first place).

Did you say your serial console was crashing?
