[olpc-help] WAP access key, do I need to type it after every reboot

[Mike Meyer]

1. It works for me now (after I used the Wpa.sh script.  I see that the key
is stored in
 /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm)
2. It is possible it would have worked without the Wpa.sh script, if I had
just waited while longer.
