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?
