*** Draft ***

This Page outlines the steps we took to configure the new (Yawarra http://www.yawarra.com.au) provided wrap units for GHO.


For the full details & pic's refer to the GHO-Wrap-Project Case Study
(coming in may after comissioning)



We had a running image of voyage linux 0.3 so we used 
this image and copied it to the supplied 512Mb CF Flash cards.


One we set an ip address in the /etc/network/interfaces file

We proceeded with our wireless config.

We decided to use atheros 5212 based wireless cards (Ubiquiti) on our
unit but the cheaper a/b/g Wiston CM9 will work on this config as well.



Here's our interfaces file (Draft)
