could tie in very nicely to mine if it used the same network profile configuration, otherwise it's a bit icky, having wireless networks defined in multiple locations. Part of the point of my scripts was to eliminate that.
The profiles for autowifi have different requirements than the ones netcfg uses: - autowifi profiles don't have an interface name - it is not possible to run a pre_up and pre_down script with autowifi, wpa_supplicant only notifies us after the event. - autowifi profiles are not bound to an interface, but to an essid. I don't like putting all autowifi networks in one big netcfg profile either, as it will kill some simplicity. However, autowifi could be a more flexible replacement for your wpa_config mode, but then there would still be external files for the networks.
