Great idea, thanks!

If everyone starts from source and uses freedom-maker themselves, that
is correct. However, I anticipate that my colleagues at the Foundation
are likely to run freedom-maker once to generate an image, and then use
that image to prepare a large number of DreamPlug units for delivery to
others. It is in that context that I want to make sure they don't end
up distributing one host key pair cloned across many machines.

That would be great. I'm not currently using the wifi port at all
personally, so it has not gotten as much attention as it might have
otherwise.

I'm very interested to see how this works out, in particular what you
think of the resulting performance on Kirkwood.
I'm quite busy today but will try to take a look at your changes later
today.
