 +===== Lets get technical =====
 +For those technical people, the next section is aimed at you.
 +  * The MESHdesk Node Config Utility will insert an entry into the **/etc/config/meshdesk** config file that looks just like the interface declaration in the **/etc/config/network** file. Here is a sample
 +  * This means you can actually pre-build / configure the device, provided they do not require a pin or the pin is common among the devices which you will flash the firmware on.
 +  * It also means you can disable the interface in **/etc/config/meshdesk**.
 +  * The script which sets up the device will check if there is a **wwan** entry in the meshdesk config file and if it is there and active it will include that declaration in the **/etc/config/network** file and reload the networking.
 +  * If you need more inf on getting your mobile dongle working, refer to this pages:
 +  * https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/3gdongle
 +  * Although the above page has lots of information, I got two dongles tested and running with the minimal effort and using the default values.
