As an example, if I am heading toward a tmobile hotspot, I simply do a ifup eth1=tmobile and the script part in the interfaces file handles all of the dhcp stuff. You can make it do a whole bunch of stuff. For a simple quality monitor for a wifi connection, I much prefer wavemon. It runs in a console or xterm and it has a lot of detailed information. Available as a deb package as well. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
