So I followed this guide, along with the original rooting new hardware wiki, to root my wifes new nook.
Got it rooted no problems on 1.4.3. Although every time I would check for new BN updates, it would never find the 1.5 release. (even before I rooted it, it never found it)
Did a manual update to 1.5 and now the rooting is gone. I have some assumptions that the full manual update might be different than the over the air update. And might have overwritten the files that were added. Not to mention I removed the extra code from the wifi_stop.sh before I updated.
