Could you please send me more info on the Wireless Space board?  I would 
like something other than our custom board to test this on.  I tried to 
get a Marvell RD-A370, but they are too expensive.  I will be glad to 
add back in the command-line interface for configuring this board if it 
is needed to support your work.

Thanks for testing,
Kevin
