[beagleboard] Connecting to dorm room internet network.

Just login via your regular pc.. Then clone/copy your mac address
from that device and specify it in:

/etc/network/interfaces

On the beagle..

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether 66:55:44:33:22:33

Then you'll have a choice of one or the other..

If that doesn't work, request access from IT or get creative with
pringle can's..

Regards,
