ORBIT-USER: Where's the WiFi device on sb2?

[Kishore Ramachandran]

Hi Einar:

Nodehandler loads the driver at the beginning of an experiment and unloads 
it at the end - thats why you don't see the wireless interface AFTER the 
experiment.

If you use node.net.w0 or node.net.w1, you should pick up the wireless 
interface...if thats still not the case, can you please send your script 
to the list?

Thanks,
Kishore
