Yes. It's exactly what I want to.

I'd go with switching the root password, because tweaking usbnet to make dropbear allow passwordless logins over WiFi is a *very bad* idea .
I agree. Open acces via WIFI is not good on public wifi:-). I asked to It's posible to allow passwordless logins only via localhost.

Something like:
if (ipaddr='127.0.0.1')
do_not_check;
else
check;

I have another idea:
6/Use launchpad for switch dropbear config and run ajaxterm. On second run of script kill ajaxterm and switch config back to allow WIFI mode. (Restarting dropbear to apply changed config is needed :-))

AjaxTerm seems to use ssh to localhost - it need login to access it.
