ifscheme issue in Debian Wheezy

ifscheme in Debian Wheezy appears to have startup issues.  The script may not remember the previous scheme following a reboot; the script may not even run at boot.

To work around the issue I had to change the line in /etc/init.d/ifscheme:

Start-Defaults:  1 2 3 4 5

and also add:

ifup wlan0

 within the top if statement.

Don't clear boot messages when booting Wheezy

By default Debian Wheezy clears the boot messages from the console when the login prompt is displayed.  This makes it more difficult to identify and fix system issues.

To prevent the login prompt from clearing the screen add the "--noclear" switch in /etc/inittab:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --noclear 38400 tty1

*The line also appears in /usr/share/sysvinit/inittab,
but I didn't need to change this on my system.
