I have a similar situation, wireless at home and at the office and at
Wifi hotspots all over town. To be honest, I've given up on the GUI
clients almost completely (NM I think might be coming along, but it's
not high on my list to try to debug since I don't use it that often) and
have gone with some very simple BASH scripts that let me load whatever
configuration I want when I need it. I've never been particularly lucky
with loading wireless interfaces on boot (one desktop being the
exception, it works perfectly) and load them as I need them.
Granted it's not as user friendly, but it's simple, it works
consistently for me and it's one less thing I have to worry about.
I have my own personal solution using ifup/ifdown but it requires some modification:
1) wpa_supplicant must be started before the network (default is the opposite)
2) change ifup-wireless and ifcfg-wlan0 to skip all configurations (already done by wpa_supplicant)
then you can do ifup wlan0 and ifdown wlan0, and have it at boot time.
The drawback is that I don't have a way to tell if wpa_supplicant fails.
If you want I can post the exact modifications needed.
