       Latest Pi-Star Update Problem and Resolution

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It seems that the latest Pi-Star update caused both of my
       hotspots to stop working (MMDVMHost red, not connecting to
       networks, etc.).
       I figured out a resolution which worked on both my hotspots
       (PI-0 and PI-3B). Here it is so that it might benefit others
       (Caveat: I'm running VE3RD's alternative (ahem SUPERIOR)
       gateway, so some of this might not be needed in your scenario).
       Starting with a working/non-upgraded hotspot:
       First, make a backup of your current config files from inside
       pi-star. Then, do a pi-star update. Next, restore the config
       that you just made to pi-star. Then, go into configuration,
       scroll down to Dashboard Language, and select something other
       than what is there (change from english_us to english_uk or
       vice-versa). Apply changes and everything should start
       functioning properly. Note that, as far as I can see, this does
       not wipe out any expert config changes in the dmrgateway config
       file...only rearranges the entries a bit. And probably adds
       whatever's needed for mmdvmhost to start working again somewhere
       in another config file.
       You can make a new backup of your config files at this point.
       Finally, if you were using Phil's gateway, you'll need to
       recompile/reinstall it (since the pi-star update replaces it
       with a new one). Use his script (GWconfig2.sh) and just do
       option 5...no need to generate new config files.
       Once everything is confirmed working again, don't forget to do
       new RPI-Clones for when things break again!
