[Commotion-dev] open garden wifi tether

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

It looks like we struck gold here! They have a complete implementation that includes its own ifconfig, iwconfig, insmod, etc.[1], and already has profiles for many devices![2]  It even has a config file to set how you want things to be setup [3].  And it seems to be all Apache 2.0 licensed.

While my Droid-CM7.1 is still not working for normal wifi after the Serval setup, Open Garden can still set up an Ad-hoc network, which my laptop can associate with and receive an IP via DHCP.
