Hi Panky,

first thanks for the 0.6.1 and recompiling the kernel with gcc 4.3.2,
but does not work for me!

Hi,

Voyage kernel in 0.6.1 is now compiled under Lenny, hence it make use
if gcc 4.3.2 now.

As I said in my follow up message, building the linux voyage kernel
inside voyage-current (thus making use of lenny's gcc 4.3.2) almost eliminates the problem. After 24 hours uptime, I only got five
"stuck
beacon" lines in my dmesg, and the performance is great. I haven't
yet
tried any newer version of madwifi.

I would suggest the voyage team to build the voyage kernel under a voyage-current (lenny) environment on the 0.6.1 release.

    I'm seeing the same problem on alix 2c3 with madwifi and
    voyage-current.

    Thanks,
