=== How to switch between Gateway/Non-gateway without Wiana? ===
Pull the LAN cable out of Tango and reboot, it will come up as a repeater, when the 
SAT comes back you can put the LAN cable back in and reboot again, it will turn back into a gateway.

> Background:
> After the storm last night we have list the Aramiska (satelite) feed
into

> 
> The node connection to the Aramiska feed is still up, the Aramiska
"Ground
> Station" is still up, but we have no data getting through that
Aramiska
> feed. The attached node (called Tango) still thinks it is a gateway,
as it
> will normally get an IP address on bootup.
> 
> The catch: You have to log into Wiana and turn OFF gateway functions
(or
> rather, set to NEVER gateway) but how do you do this if the node in
question
> cannot talk to Wiana?
> 
> Most nodes still see Tango as the gateway node, despite there being a
(lower

and

node
