There is a possible leak of profile info from one to the next if profiles are loaded in sequence, due to the fact that we are running all of this in a shared environment. Unset all currently known variables at the start of load_profile().
This is most apparent in several functions in `src/network` which do looping calls of profile_up or profile_down (which in turn call load_profile). The script `wpa_actiond/netcfg-wpa_actiond` is safe due to its use of subshells.

This sucks a bit, but is a big failing of netcfg I found when writing my next patch. It screams "there must be a better way", but at the moment I'm not sure what that may be. The biggest problem is there is no central collection of these variables which I had to scrape from the various setup scripts. Thoughts?

When using the net-auto-wireless profile, it can be very helpful to prefer certain connections over others.

This seemed like an obvious addition to me when I was trying to replace a box with a static wpa_supplicant.conf configuration and couldn't reproduce it faithfully.
This also makes me wonder if the 'wpa-configsection' option is all too restrictive, or if we should always append a CONFIGSECTION variable if it is present in a profile. This would allow people to do the HIDDEN (existing) and PRIORITY option (introduced here) in a more ad-hoc fashion as well as allowing any other WPA options we don't currently support without having to special-case each one.

If you use proper bash syntax here, you don't have to worry about the default assigment:
if (( PRIORITY > 0 )); then
echo "priority=$PRIORITY"- fi

ACK.
Keep in mind though that setting priority overrides wpa_supplicants internal preferences (WPA over open networks and so on).

I'd better say we should enforce the use of subshells whenever multiple profiles are expected to be loaded in a sequence. For example; by making load_profile a hard failure if $DESCRIPTION (or any other common variable) is already set.

Of course now it appears all calls are in subshells; this was old work, I'm not sure if something changed in the last 4 months I've had this sitting around but I swear I had a reproducible test case at the time.

$CONNECTION is probably your best variable choice here.
