I can now manually configure the wireless interface but I need to come up 
automatically during boot and start the dhcp client. I can see that the kernel 
does boot and somewhere during init the interface is brought up. However, 
somewhere later during the init the wireless interface is being shutdown. If I 
go into the Setup application I can see that the wireless option is turned 
off. If I turn it back on it then the interface does come up. However, it is 
not persistent across boots. How do I turn off the current system setting of 
turning off the wireless interface? I have a "wlan" script in the 
"/etc/init.d" directory and once I manually bring up the wireless interface I 
can run it and it does configure the interface properly.

Also, I'm running into the same problem with the busybox udhcpc application 
that I've seen before. It does not see the DCHPOFFER from the AP. It ignores 
it and continues to issue the DCHPDISCOVER. There was a application dhclient 
that ran on the OM2009 distro. Is there anything available here on the 
unstable SHR? One person mentioned that the problem was that the Signal level 
(which is -147dBm) is way too low and should be at least -90dBm. Where would I 
change this? I have some control over the AP if that is where the change needs 
to be.

And on more piece of information that I need....
I can bring up the shell on the Neo but the keyboard that pops up does not 
have an obvious way to insert (or type) a carriage return. There has to be a 
way?

Cheers!!
