[arm-allstar] Login "loop"

[Steve Cole]

David,

A followup.  It's working!  I was waiting to set up a WiFi configuration 
and didn't realize that you needed to first have the wired Ethernet 
hooked up for it to work properly at first.  Now, everything works fine!

TNX a bunch for your help!  You guys are the best!

73,

Steve -- WB6LOT
