wireless config

[tallmtt]

There are lots of posts to get your card working but not much to configure your startup and config.

There is a great site under the documentation and also under the conf.d/wireless.example file but I cannot find the answer to my problem.

Every time I turn on my computer at home I need to:
1) iwconfig ath0 essid MyNetwork
2) ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.123
3) iwconfig ath0 ap auto
4) iwconfig ath0 ap auto (I know - I have to do it twice??)
5) route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Then my Internet works.

I want it to automatically log onto my home network (MyNetwork) and if that essid is not available - to use dhcp to log into unsecured networks with the strongest signal.

Any ideas?

I have heard to put both my eth0 and ath0 (wireless interface) in the file conf.d/net but I like the idea of using conf.d/wireless because I plan on stopping eth0 from even turning on at boot because I never use it (except to install gentoo)

I can find information to set my network but not my network and dhcp for when my network is unavailable to the stongest unsecured network.

Ok, I feel I am talking in circles. I look forward to anyone's reply. Thank you in advance.

Have you read this?

Yes - I have read it and it is an excellent resource - the exact one I was referencing in my first post.

My question is that I used that article to set up my card for "my" network, but how do I set it up to also connect to ANY unsecured network with dhcp if my network is not available, and how do I make my card connect to the strongest signal if there are more than 1 unsecured networks around?

Will this involve writing a script?

Thanks again for your quick reply.
