For a desktop install, the config.example files are great.
But for a notebook, creating and maintaining different setups for
different networks is troublesome (some of them you'll probably never
use again). When travelling or just sitting at a hotel that uses WPA
or WEP keys, setting up config files for PSKs or keys is a pain.
I searched for some solution and found net-misc/networkmanager. Its a
cool solution, as it configures any network on-the-fly, without
messing with configuration or keeping files all over. I'm a Gnome
user, and the applet sitting at the panel is awesome, as it lists all
wireless connections, and also deals with wired networks. Its a "must
have" in my personal opinion for a mobile device, I use it with my
Asus EEE.
Just sharing some user experience.
