Commandline router stuff

[jerith]

So, I finally spent an evening struggling with my WRT54G3G's web interface and managed to craft a pair of commandline tools to connect and disconnect:

wrtconnect.sh:
#!/bin/bash

I love elegant hacks, and the fact that Linux lets you make them.

This wasn't a particularly elegant hack, but it was about at the limit of what the silly device would allow. After updating the firmware I had to add the nextpage= bit to the connect script, otherwise it failed.

The first iteration had my password in the script, but I decided if I was going to go for a somewhat public release I'd better do things properly. Also, it means that someone with access to my laptop can't also mess with the router.
