A long, long time ago I used to run Mandrake on my laptop and I had this nifty utility installed that would work out the ESSIDs of the wireless networks nearby and match them to one of a set of keys I had listed in a configuration file and magically configure my wireless card and run dhclient to get an address.
So these days I'm on Ubuntu and there's this network manager thing which can see that /etc/network/interfaces has both wired and unwired networks, and it works out which I'm using and configures things appropriately. Which is very nice. But what I want is a fusion of these two technologies. Is there a way I can setup Ubuntu to automatically use a wired network if it's available, and if not do this search for available wireless networks, setting the appropriate key if one is found?
