[Commotion-admin] [Commotion-OpenWRT - Feature #448] (New) integrate Andy’s script for turning on PoE passthrough for eth1 on NanoStations into the setup code.

[Andy Gunn]

Just to clarify - below is the text to add to turn on PoE passthrough on
the secondary port of a NanoStation. Add to /etc/rc.local on the node:

echo 8 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio8/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio8/value

There should also be an 'exit 0' at the end of the file, after these
commands. You can add these commands in and then run /etc/rc.local, or
reboot the node.

I got these instructions from Josh King.
