I plug in the cable, ifplugd detects it, guessnet finds out where I am, dhcp is started, and my mail is fetched, using masqmail, which now also knows which upstream MTA to use. - at home, I plug in my WLAN card, waproamd detects my AP, configures the WEP key for my AP; continued as above. The same works at my wife's home (using another AP with a different ESSID and WEP), in the hotel in the US where I usually stay and at work there. And it also works when I find free WLAN anywhere, eg. in an internet cafe. Of course, all this had to be configured, which is not easy for a newbie. Greetings, Oliver
