Yes I read this in the mail but since I'm not an official man of userspace, I didn't reply but I thought that it was really needed thing (also to workaround the issue said above about re-connecting to different networks). I guess that changing the if-up/down scripts for wireless interface is easy like adding a line to it. So imho, you should do it. Updating the userspace utilities is an easy work. I would have replied to the old thread since I didn't see any update in this front, but fortunately something is coming up again... -- Treviño's World - Life and Linux http://www.3v1n0.net/
