That approach works for me.

I was using the following in my /etc/network/interfaces:

   test wireless essid blah blah blah

However, I am interested in test-wireless-ap, but am a little confused
regarding how it would work for me.

I have one card and several networks which require a key and do not
broadcast their SSID.

The man page indicates that all tests are run concurrently and the first
one to succeed wins.  So if all four of my tests are trying to run
iwconfig wlan0 with different settings, not sure how it can determine
who wins.  How would I place this script in /etc/network/interfaces in
my case?
