yep, need to rethink that one.

will do once I have the signal problem sorted.

Point taken. Only reason I state this, is that originally I was working
within the switch and adding my wpa functions to it. I was tearing my
hair out wondering why it was always returning to ASK_OPTIONS. I thought
it was in my code and couldn't work it out. After removing the nested
switch and adding the function, it worked properly. I just retested with
an unmodified netcfg to make sure I have my story straight, and it
appears to be the case AFAICT.
Cheers
