Mac book pro - forget wifi network

After wiping my Mac book pro with SSD I discovered the recovery system still remembered my personal network.

To remove it, you to bring up terminal and type

networksetup -setairportnetwork [device] [network] [password]

To find out [device] type ifconfig and look for a local IP e.g. 192.168.1.67

Set a pass to dummy pass. E.g.


networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 'wifinetnamepriv' 'dummypass'

Give the system a little moment and then it will forget it self.

ZTE Blade - Settings crashes (Swedish Snow RLS7)


The ZTE blade aka Orange San Francisco.

It has been said the Swedish Snow RLS7 is the best known ROM for ZTE Blade, however my father and I stumbled upon an annoyance with trying to configure a wifi connection.   At first I thought it was just us.

Symptoms

You have a flashed your android phone to Swedish Snow RLS7 and settings keeps crashing when trying to configure wireless networks or even trying to connect the network.

Every time you browse "Setttings->Wifi setup" and then attempt to connect to a known network, the settings crashes out.  

Solution

Install a different ROM.  I have made steps to help install Cyangenmod7 which doesn't have a problem with connecting to WiFi.
