[Voyage-products] wds setup

[Wesley Allison]

It is a prism chipset. I am getting stuck in the /etc/network/interfaces
file. If I do a standard setup without trying to add WDS I can get
everything working. I start trying to add the WDS part to the interfaces
file and it kills everything. I can add WDS links manually and everything
works fine. Any pointers would be appreciated and I have added my interfaces
file below. Some parts are commented out as I am messing around trying to
get it working.


# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.

What wireless card do you have?  If it is hostap (prism 2.5), things 
could be easy.  If it is otherwise, you need to go the corresponding 
kernel driver website to see how.
