Yes, but I'm using netcfg for the wireless connection of the
laptop, and AFAICS the "IPCFG" command used in ethernet-iproute
does not work when using the 'wireless' profile. I may be wrong
but have not been able to add any routing to a wireless config. 

The examples seem to assume that wireless implies 1. dhcp, and
2. just a default gw and not other routes.

For (1) it is just the examples lacking. But (2) seems to be a
hard-wired limitation.
