Is there an easy way to get a Linux laptop to connect to one of a number of wireless networks, based on which ESSID it sees?
Last time I checked (kernel has upgraded since), my wifi gets kind of finicky if it tries to connect to a WAP that isn't there. (e.g., if I leave my home WAP, which requires a key, in /etc/network/interfaces but then go boot up at Mishka's or Common Grounds, it seemed like I needed to alter 'interfaces' and then do a reboot to ever get it to work... just running 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' didn't seem enough.) Once upon a time, I tried providing various interface variations in /etc/network/interfaces (e.g., "eth1-home", "eth1-mishkas") but either did it wrong, or it didn't work. :) Any tips or links to good howtos?
