That's nice. I assume it selects the appropriate key based on the ESSID
it finds?


A while ago I sent patches to Bill (and/or put them in Bugzilla) which
added Bluetooth networking support. I moved the tail end of ifup into
ifup-eth, then added an 'ifup-wireless' which calls that, as does
ifup-bnep. We no longer have to have the wireless (or bluetooth) stuff
hacked in to the middle of ifup that way.


Splitting out ethernet stuff to ifup-eth sounds like a good idea IMHO. I'm trying to add support for WAN cards (only using the generic hdlc stack and sethdlc at the moment) and I was considering doing the same. The ethernet code is already framed by a "if" statement anyway, splitting it out would just improve readability and consistancy of the ifup/down scripts.
