TroubleshootingWiana

It appears that the new version trashes the wiana.setting file. In
addition it turns off the DHCP server and will not allow anyone to
connect unti it has done an update. The channel had also been reset 
back to default.
To resolve the issue I went back to the closest node. Set its channel 
to 1 and SSID to LocustWorld then waited for the two boxes to mesh. When
they did I then edited the wiana.settings file and changed the settings
to channel6 and back to our SSID. I then rebooted the box and reset the
settings on the box I did this from.
They remeshed and I was then able to do a remote management.
Everything seems to be working well again.
