This will initialize the nodes in NODE_SERIAL_LIST to allow interactive use of 
wlan_exp nodes.

Hardware Setup:
 - Requires one or more WARP v3 nodes
 - PC NIC and ETH B on WARP v3 nodes connected to common Ethernet switch

Required Script Changes:
  - Set NETWORK to the IP address of your host PC NIC network (eg X.Y.Z.0 for IP X.Y.Z.W)
  - Set NODE_SERIAL_LIST to the serial numbers of your WARP nodes

Description:
  This will initialize all the nodes.  Then, the script will create an 
interactive prompt to allow for manipulation of the nodes.
