In the newer firmware releases this functionality will be disabled to bring the network setup to a more traditional way, i.e. by modifying ''/etc/network/interfaces''.

===Description===
From a Linux PC, download [https://community.elphel.com/files/393/fix_network_config/fix_net_config.tar.gz fix_net_config.tar.gz].
The archive contains 2 scripts - one (shell) is run from the host PC, another (python) will be copied and automatically run on the camera.
The python script will write the current configuration to ''/etc/network/interfaces'' and overwrite one of the init scripts to disable network
configuration in ''/etc/elphel393/init_elphel393.py'' on startup.
