Sure this is possible. But it doesn't execute the commands in the correct order. Some wlan drivers don't accept the commands in arbitrary order. If you do it the way you describe, then the command is executed before or after your if-up script, and that fails with some card drivers. regards Hadmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
