I've been playing with the gentoo wireless scripts found in the newer baselayouts and I must say that they're pretty cool. I'd recommend trying them to anyone who hasn't updated their baselayout in a while.

Theres only one issue that I'm having with it. It has the rather nifty pre and post authentication functions so you can have it do things after it connects to a wireless network. Is it possible to have it do certain things based on what AP I'm connecting too?

I had thought about making it call a seperate bash script that reads the current SSID and then goes from there but I figured this would be a cleaner approach.

Thanks for any suggestions

Code:

postup() {
   if [[ ${ESSID} == "foo" ]]; then
      einfo "Doing stuff for ESSID foo"
   fi
}


Like that :)
