Package: guessnet
Version: 0.25-1
Severity: wishlist

I use guessnet as follows for my wireless interface:

auto wlan0
mapping wlan0
        script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
        map home away
        #map default: home
        map timeout: 3
        map verbose: true
        map debug: true

# At home I use static networking.
iface home inet static
        # This is brick.
        test peer address 192.168.1.1 mac 00:02:6F:08:0E:2C
        wireless_mode managed
        address 192.168.1.5
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        up echo "home" > /etc/network/scheme

# Fallback to dhcp.
iface none inet dhcp
        wireless_mode managed
        up echo "away" > /etc/network/scheme

There's just one problem: This all depends on my card being in managed mode
when guessnet sends its arp packet, else it will never get through. And
my card could easily be in some other mode if I was using kismet, or
had it temporarily set up as an access point. 

So I would like to be able to do something like this:

        map runcommand: iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

guessnet would run the command before probing the network. Sure, I could
do it with a wrapper script and have the mapping call that, but it seems
cleaner to keep it all in one file, plus I don't want a wrapping script
per interface..

Of course what would be really nice is if guessnet understood wireless,
and could notice the existing "wireless_mode managed" lines, and jus Do
The Right Thing. But given the current architecture of ifupdown, iwconfig,
and guessnet, that seems difficult.
