That looks pretty good actually, only it affects the actual software 
clock only, not the hardware clock.

What ntp daemon are you running on that WRAP box? Look at its 
configuration and the init script, you may want to add a hwclock command 
somewhere in there to update the hwclock over a reboot. I requested a 
modification in the ntpd settings to update the hardware clock as soon 
as a reasonable time is received from a time server.

Also it is possible, with a bit of hardware modification, which is not 
difficult at all, to add a backup battery to your WRAP.
