I was trying to find a way to automatically handle my network management, so that as I roamed from network to network it would automatically connect properly. wicd, http://wicd.sf.net, seems to be able to do this. It has a very accessible curses interface which provides the functionality to set up networks, connect to them, etc. If I plug in my ethernet cable the wireless connection is automatically switched off, and vice versa. If this tool or others like it is already familiar to the speakup community, I apologize. I just discovered it tonight and thought it might be useful to people at large. All the best, Zack.
