I've given some more thought this. I'd like to add some pre/post
hooks to the ifup/ifdown actions. These hooks would be scripts called
/S/S/NetScripts/<iface>-{pre,post}{up,down}. Each would be sourced by
the Network task. The pre hooks could override vars set in
NetworkOptions (ie allowing the user to search for a preferred ESSID).
Thoughts?
PS. Anyone try my updated Network and WirelessConfig tasks?
