Cambium (formerly Motorola) Canopy radios come with SNMP 
write disabled (as they should). Unfortunately there isn't 
a documented way to enable it without clicking through 
the web UI. I've been thinking about how to enable it for 
a while as our OSS project needs SNMP write to enforce 
configurations on the device. Over the weekend I got the 
chance to sit down and figure out exactly what needed to 
happen by watching the HTTP transactions with 
[Charles Proxy](http://www.charlesproxy.com/). 
The result is a short bit of python that can be used from 
the command line or imported into a existing system as a 
python module: [snmpset.py](https://gist.github.com/3617519).
