oh, and on that note:

said wireless driver is much nicer now (though far from perfect or
complete) and still in contrib/tristan/libertas.tgz.

the wavelan driver uses the ctl file in the connection (`{cat clone}/ctl)
to manage association and such (if i'm understanding correctly). i find
that fairly annoying to use and generally unintuitive.

i'm inclined to extend the ethernet interface an etherx/ctl file that
accepted commands along the lines of ssid, bssid, and channel to
configure the connection. did the wavelan driver not do this for a reason
beyond changing devether? any better ideas?

my guess is that the strongest argument against that is that wavelan does
it the other way and consistancy is important.

enjoy,
tristan
