4 node indoor testbed notes...
dual radio works just great.  by default the /etc/ifconfig.ap.tmpl
sets the ap radio into 802.11a.  i am assuming most networks will be
end up changing this to b.

we had to manually change the nameserver var in cuw_config as its not
using what its getting from dhcpd and the old one doesnt work.  i
thought tom comited the change.  we are going to start setting it to
ns.cuwireless.net.

the new dhcpselect works great with no noticed problems

it doesnt appear nodeconfig breaks anything anymore, w00t.  we are
still working with bryan to iron out some nodeconfig issues.

next we will be updating the downtown urbana nodes.  providing there
are no issues found we have 0.7.0.

list of known improvements
* HSLS bug fixes that improve "routing fidelity" :-) and the daemon's
reliability
*(just saw this commit) HSLS log dump with SIGUSR1
* support for the latest Atheros-based wireless adapters
* cross-building CUWiN for non-i386 architectures, including nascent
support for the Atheros AR5312 WiSoC
*dual radio support
*dhcpselect now validates a dhcp assigned router before becoming a
gateway to remove the "black hole node" issue <insert better
discription here>.
*nodeconfig improvements

kind of unrelated but i want to check with everyone on the best way to
go about making a gateway node w/o having a dhcpd on the wired
interface.  we have two networks that now require this and i am
assuming more to come.
