If I take a concrete example : my ~/.wgetrc.
i wan't to connect to internet
- from home, with wifi, I have direct access to internet.
- from work, with wifi, I must use a proxy.
- from outside, I must use GPRS with another proxy.
It's easy to make a script that will update .wgetrc.
why
for the proxy: as someone mentioned before -- there is a global variable
defining the proxy .
Does this mean that I have to re-start my applications when I connect ?
Not optimal ...
Anyway do you know who put this variable ?
And where to configure it's value ?

arne anka a écrit :
i don't think so -- checking the proxy variable should be transparent to
the apps and done by which layer is responsible for managing th connection.
indeed, if the variable is only in environnement, you must restart.
Also, I'm still not sure that there is a variable.
Who can set it ? Only pam

Not so easy :
- you may have 2 places where the same interface has different

It's also worth using wpa_cli to see whether wpa_supplicant it associating

I'll try these things but without a usb connection and ssh terminal they are
all very hard to do

My access point shows up in the scan list, but does not connect, and I don't
see and errors.
