Exactly.

Not in the environment.
To the wired scripts, "wired" is passed (three times, just for compatibility
with the wireless ones, even though I disagree with upstream on this, but have
found no sufficient motivation to patch it), i.e. if you put "netconfig" as a
pre/post connection/disconnection script, it will be called as:
$ netconfig wired wired wired
To the wireless scripts, WICD passes "wireless", the ESSID and the BSSID,
i.e.:
$ netconfig wireless my-wlan 00:11:22:33:44:55
Maybe we could mangle this bug appropriately to make it a documentation-bug.
Kindly,
David
