There already is a config file along these lines, although it is not a text file. If you use the -F option, you can point mvpmc to a file on a remote filesystem so that all your changes in the settings menu will be saved when you use the "save settings" option in the settings menu. I started writing this file with the intent of saving it in flash (which is why it is not a text file). I think we are getting close to needing to do this, since once the wireless mvp is supported, we'll have security problems if we do not start storing data in flash (ie, ssh keys, login passwords, CIFS passwords, ...). There is also the web config interface (point a browser to the IP address of your mvp) that allows you to configure most of the command line options. However, back to your original comment... It would be nice if the dongle config allowed you to set a whole bunch of shell variables that /etc/rcS would then use to run mvpmc if you hadn't already done so. Of course, by storing everything in flash, we could get rid of the need for the config file, which seems to cause a lot of problems for people.
