So I've read /README and tried uncommenting the ath0 lines for madwifi in the
/etc/network/interfaces and i changed the madwifi-base wifi1 line to
madwifi-base wifi0 because that's the name of my device but I'm not
sure how to setup WPA-PSK correctly. I read the ubuntu wiki on setting
up wpa using wpa_supplicant but apparently wpa_supplicant isn't
installed the usual way on voyage linux. There is no
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf by default and the /etc/network/interfaces
file doesn't even reference the wpa_supplicant command so i guess it's
using something else. I really have no idea how it's set up. <br>
<br>So as of now I really need any kind of directions on how to
properly setup wireless with WPA. Another odd thing is that after
uncommenting those lines in the /etc/network/interfaces file, on boot,
when it tries to bring up the interfaces it seems to correctly create
the ath0 node and everything goes great, then it does something with
'lo' for loopback interface and the next line says "operation not
permitted" followed by "failed bringing up ath0". However, after boot
is complete i can run 'ifconfig ath0 up" without any problems. The
interface comes up and everything looks normal except i'm not connected
to any ssid and there is no encryption settings. It's just a plain
interface that's unconnected.<br>
<br>I would really appreciate it if anyone who has experience with wpa,
wifi, and voyage 0.6.0+ could give some input on what to do here.

Is there any sort of up-to-date wiki anywhere that tells how to setup wireless for voyage 0.6.0 or 0.6.1? since the madwifi driver is built into the kernel and hostap was added I'm not quite sure how everything is supposed to be set up. Is it simply an issue of just uncommenting the right lines in /etc/network/interfaces? Or do I have to customize certain lines to my setup? If so, which lines?<br>
