[HamWAN PSDR] Client configuration instructions

[Kenny Richards]

So I ran into another problem, when I got past the scan-list issue.

At step 12, where I'm telling the radio interface to pull DHCP from HamWAN,
it is telling me the interface already exists. When I look at the
interfaces in WinBox, they are not named quite the same. (ether1-local and
wlan1-gateway)  But when I tried using interface=wlan1-gateway, it still
didn't work.

The next step (13) seems to work fine.....

Any ideas?

Thanks
Kenny
