Looks very interesting. I do have a question though; I am not good at
bash (yet) and nor do I speak Spanish, would it be possible to throw
together a quick translation of the bash script? I understand the
/etc/network/interfaces bit, but the bash script is kind of confusing to
me.
And can you explain how to use it?
I'm sorry, I'm kind of a bash newb :)
