And, tomas, don't overlook potential factoids such as these:
"Now this of course isn't going to work if you are carrying a lappy
and expecting to tap the wifi at any Starbucks you pull into. Then
you are truly at the mercy of network-mangler, which might work but
usually doesn't."
and
"I have indeed used wicd, 3 or 4 times, []. But the last time I tried
it on a ubu 10-04 lts install, it had apparently been re-written, and
totally emasculated."
