I personally used to use a setup with guessnet-ifupdown and a mapping for the interfaces that determined what the right thing to do was. You can have this detect wired networks using arping and wireless networks by essid pretty simply. However, now that wireless networks are reasonably quick, I tend not to bother with wired networks, and just use wpa-supplicant directly everywhere. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Everyone has to die.
