For that I would like to get results, if we manage to use special
security feature for the wireless part working without nvram.
Like WEP, WPA and WPA2. I will include the util "wl" so we can use
"up" statements in interfaces.

See the "rc.conf". A simple key=value setting. I used it for
syslogd_flags and ntpd_flags. May be we can use it to start dnsmasq
with special options. Dnsmasq can be fully configured without
/etc/dnsmasq.conf.

I think we will go another way. I have discussed an idea with some
friends of mine. I will describe the idea, if I cleared it up.

Hmm. Webif is not important for me, but may be we can attract more
people to FreeWRT if we have one.
