[maemo-developers] Establish wifi connection from command line

[From: André Xuereb]

Hi,

I had written a small application to do just this. Check out
http://www.anomaly-music.com/crun . The idea is for crun to connect to a
WIFI network and run another program, for example:
         crun wget http://www.google.com/
will connect to a known network (or pop up the "select connection" dialog
box if no known network is found) and _then_ run wget. The connection is
dropped when crun exits, so for a permanent connection you should run:
         crun &
or
         crun echo &
and then use kill to drop the connection.
The source for crun is not on the above website (I forgot to upload it...),
but I plan to put it up later on today if you need it. In any case, hope
this helps.
