Re: wireless lan config
> don't know how well it [quickswitch] integrates the iwconfig stuff
well, the version i downloaded (0.8 i think) didn't integrate it at all,
but it was pretty straightforward to add. below is my "diff -c", in case
anyone wants it (if you don't know what to do with this, man patch). i
basically just added support for iwconfig's essid and key arguments...
YMMV, etc, but it seems to work for me. have fun!
