Updating the config in auto-wireless mode is not possible, but you can
temporarily add a network for the current session (using wpa_{cli,gui}).
If a connection to an unknown network is made, a default DHCP profile is
used.

Support for identifying different wired networks would be a great
feature for netcfg. This is easy for wireless, as there is a SSID, but
not for wired. If you have ideas in this area, I'd be glad to see them.
