Mod to Chumby for SSH Server and Access Port

This evening I tried to modify the Chumby a little by adding a capability to run the ssh server and make it into a access point normally. The Chumby has a few easter eggs to allow it to do some cool things. To launch the ssh server on a normal basis you simply make a file called start_sshd in the /psp directory:

touch /psp/start_sshd

this will cause the Chumby to launch its sshd server each time that it boots up. In order to setup the access point you make an additional file called start_ap in the /psp directory:

touch /psp/start_ap
reboot

To stop each one of these, you remove the files and reboot. The access point did not come up so I removed the launch file for it. I need to revisit and make the output go into a ethernet port.
