I have merged with openwrt head, and updated to dnsmasq 2.66test4, and
also folded in the tiny luci upnp fix to the '&' issue. I'm not really
sure if that last is the right thing, it's supposed to be
translated...

I am still not in a position to test anything cerowrt related myself
right now, although I am down to a mere 20 miles between me and the
yurtlab and 50 from isc.

I am relieved to hear that amazon claims they will get new supplies of
the wndr3800 by jan 5.

I am staring at the bunch of hardware I ordered in something of a
panic - dreamplug, wndr4300, the nanostations, a couple bus pirates, a
nexus 7, and trying to figure out a direction to move forward that
makes sense.

Excellent! PPPoE?

I folded in the same patches as were used in 2.66-test3.

A good default configuration for cero would be good, Not sure what that is...
