* Add explicit checks for raspberry pi & appropriate code. * Stop on error * Pass `-y` to `apt` commands to prevent user prompting. * Reduce size of git clones using `--depth=1` when possible * Replece explicit paths to BUILD_DIR with variable.
* Install FX3 firmware * Remove leftover code * Only remove modules and devices that are actually present.
* Don't try to unload cfg80211 since it is used by other 802.11 drivers. * Add variable to specify the name of the wlan device.
* Preserve existing value of BUILD_DIR from environment.
* Exportt BUILD_DIR to environment
* Attempt to determine the correct wlan interface # as the number of existing interfaces (counting from 0).
* Use `pkill` instead of killall to terminate programs.

start-bladeRF-wiphy.sh
* Use `x-terminal-emulator` to avoid assumptions about windowing system

* Check for presence of nmcli before running it.
* Properly determine detected MAC address.
* Temporarily disable ip forwarding
install.sh:
* Use `apt` intead of `apt-get`.
* Check for Raspberry Pi vs 'standard' debian & use the correct kernel header package.
* Download standard `hosted` firmware as well as FX2 and wlan firmware.
* Correct installation of firmware.
* Limit git clones to depth=1 to avoid unecessarily large downloads.
* Use correct git branch for Kernel version based on whether VENDOR='Raspbian'
* Replace some remaining fixed paths with ${BUILD_DIR}
of `/usr/share/Nuand/bladeRF`.
* Use `/tmp` instead of `${HOME}` for the build dir.
* Delete build dir at start of install
* Modify `dhcpd.conf` and `hostapd.conf` when starting to match the wlan device name we're using.
* Remove extraneous use `env nmcli`.
* Use the last two digits of the ethernet mac address for the mac
address assigned to the bladeRF to avoid collisions.

them from closing before any message are viewed
* Use the dhcp service instead of calling dhcpd directly.
