Editing /etc/resolv.conf won't change the DNS nameserver because it gets rewritten on each reboot or restart of wlan0.
Persistant wireless settings are stored in binary form and can be accessed using wpa_cli. I'm not sure that this contains the ip configuration though (I doubt it). You could just configure your IP statically in the amazon firmware and check /var/local for any file which might contain the IP you gave or just edit /etc/network/interfaces.
