<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Wlan is up in the boot through the service wlancond (at /init.d)
associated to runlevel 3. The graphical user interaction doesn't allow
to set up but configure the values of wlan. So you have to define these
in order to wlan starts at runlevel 3 with that configuration.<p>To
do that you have to edit file /etc/network/interfaces with the values
of the wlan (iface, name, address, essid, etc.). Look at here:<a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html
</a><br> </p><p>A bit more complicate
situation is if wlan is not always the same. In such a situation you
must write a script that allows to distinguish between the different
wlans (for instance, via comparison of known mac address and sniffed
mac addres).</p></blockquote><div><br>Yes, you're right. Here is an example of this script which I found recently at <a href="http://planet.igalia.com">http://planet.igalia.com</a>:<br><br>The /etc/network/interfaces could be like this one (being HomeNET and WorkNET two existing ESSID network identifiers):
<blockquote><p>auto eth1<br>
mapping eth1<br>
script /root/WIFI/wldetect.sh<br>
map HomeNET HomeNET<br>
map WorkNET WorkNET</p>
<p>iface HomeNET inet static<br>
address <a href="http://192.168.1.2">192.168.1.2</a><br>
netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a><br>
gateway <a href="http://192.168.1.1">192.168.1.1</a><br>
wireless-essid HomeNET<br>
wireless-key s:mysecretpass1 open<br>
dns-nameservers <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> <a href="http://192.168.1.1">192.168.1.1</a></p>
<p>iface WorkNET inet dhcp<br>
wireless-essid WorkNET<br>
wireless-key s:mysecretpass2 open<br>
dns-nameservers <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> <a href="http://192.168.100.1">192.168.100.1</a><br></p></blockquote><p>The script /root/WIFI/wldetect.sh lists the available networks and chooses one of them being in a whitelist (HomeNET|WorkNET):
</p>
<blockquote><p>#!/bin/sh</p>
<p># Config<br>
WL_IFACE=`iwconfig 2>/dev/null | { read A _; echo $A; };`</p>
<p># Reset the interface<br>
ifconfig $WL_IFACE down<br>
ifconfig $WL_IFACE <a href="http://0.0.0.0">0.0.0.0</a><br>
ifconfig $WL_IFACE up</p>
<p># Search networks<br>
NETWORKS=`iwlist $WL_IFACE scanning | grep ESSID | sed -e 's/.*"\(.*\)"/\1/'`</p>
<p># Bring down the interface<br>
ifconfig $WL_IFACE down</p>
<p># Select preferred networks<br>
for NET in $NETWORKS<br>
