[User] DHCP on openwireless.org net

[Ranga Krishnan]

This is a known bug. We had opened the firewall to allow DHCP 
from the openwireless.org guest but apparently it didn't make it
to the build or is not wide enough. I will be adding a fix in a day 
or so to the Github repo. If you want to experiment with a fix please
make the necessary changes to the /etc/firewall.user file on the
router (after ssh login). You will then need to do a 

  #/etc/init/d/firewall restart

to have your changes take effect. If you find a fix that works for you 
please post it on the Github issue open for this problem, so I can 
cross-check my fix. 

Thanks,
Ranga
