There doesn’t seem to be a way to tell it what TCP/IP network settings to use, or a way to switch between into a bridged configuration so that it wouldn’t do NAT or DHCP for other devices (at least for the private network; for the openwireless.org <http://openwireless.org/> network it doesn’t matter if it does).  Is that possible?  I am OK with using SSH.  Sorry if I missed some documentation somewhere.  There wasn’t any in the box.

I'm not sure how to do exactly what you want.  Here's what README.md

You can find a little information about doing some network
