[Commotion-admin] [commotion-openwrt] Issue69 (#72)

[gradyoti]

NOTE: This pull request depends on https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotiond/pull/57

The two can be tested in tandem

To test:

1) After flashing a node, and while connected via ethernet, go to the url "thisnode" in your browser (as you would normally). 
You should see the admin page.

2) On your machine:
$ host thisnode
You should see: 
thisnode.mesh.local has address 169.254.xx.xx

3) Back in your browser, run quickstart and ssh into the node (again, via ethernet)
$ uci show network

You should see an entry for the thisnode alias that looks like this:
network.thisnode=alias
network.thisnode.interface=plug
network.thisnode.ipaddr=169.254.7.130
network.thisnode.netmask=255.255.0.0
network.thisnode.proto=static

4) $ less /etc/config/network
You should NOT see an entry for the thisnode alias

5) Reboot the node. Recheck steps 1 through 4.

Store in a cool, dry place.
