19. If you open a Terminal and type ifconfig en2 and press enter, you should see your IP address.
    
    
    
    
20. You now have setup your Mvix Nubbin. Any changes in relation to the Access Point, Encryption, Passphrases, will need to be made in the RaLink USB Wireless Utility. This can be found in your application folder.
    
    

At this point we are done. In future reboots/logins, you will see the USB Wireless utility.
