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

[Einar Vollset]

Ah. Magic.. :-) Thanks!

Out of interest, if I load the driver like this and then save the  
image, will the driver be there when
I re-image the nodes? If so, and I then ran an experiment, would the  
nodehandler (rudely IMHO)
unload it again?

Cheers,

Einar
