Hi

 

I have a Madwifi based card, and it works like a charm.  I have 2 wifi
networks I need to connect daily, both at home, and a 3rd one at work which
I need to use weekly few times.

 

I have been using a really dumb script which replaces the
/etc/network/interfaces file with the 3 versions I have and then restarts
networking. This works, but I don't really like it.

 

For me a fancy graphical program isn't good as I use mostly a console and
when I use a desktop program, I prefer a very light one, so no joy with a
heavy graphical one. My laptop isn't a champion, it's a 887Mhz Crusoe in
tiny Vaio branded box :-)

 

Is there a tool I can use for wireless roaming? I would need one I can
somehow manage, as strongest signal almost never applies to me. I use in all
my networks WEP with 128bit encryption, and Shared mode.

 

My /etc/networking/interface looks like this:

 

auto ath0

iface ath0 inet dhcp

pre-up iwconfig ath0 essid MYSSID

pre-up iwconfig ath0 key MYKEY128BIT

pre-up iwpriv ath0 authmode 2

 

Any suggestions are welcome,

 

Thanks

 

Ben
