Dear Maintainer,

please use "fetch-url" instead of "wget" to retrieve the "authorized_keys"
file. This would enable support for tftp and plain files.
As the network-console is especially useful in PXE environments, a tftp server
will be present very likely and the console could be used without the need of
an additional http server.

The applied patch is untested.


Kind regards,

Tammo
