[ug-bosug] nwam does not give me ip via ethernet, works only via wireless

[Ananth Shrinivas]

Hey Manish,

What does

$ cat /etc/nwam/llp

Say ? This file has the ordered list of network interfaces managed by NWAM.
If there ain't no bcme0 here, NWAM won't manage it. Or if wpi0 comes 
above bcme0, it gets higher priority.
