Hi,
thank you for you help!
Things work just fine with the nm-applet right now, and i will put most
of my time into wrapping my mind around lua-coding the next weeks.
I'll E-Mail you if i want to try an alternative to the network-manager.
Greetings,
Levent

Something that might be of interest to you (especially if you don't
connect to many new places) is using wpa_supplicant. I don't have my
config right in front of you, but if wpa_supplicant works for your
card you can have it set to connect on boot, and it connects to open,
WEP, and WPA just fine. There's a wpa_gui client that allows you to
graphically setup the connection once and then you're good to go.
If you're interested I can hunt my configuration down.
HTH,
Wayne
