Hello I've always felt uncomfortable by the usability of the wireless-tools (iwconfig, iwlist), but I really love iproute2. That's why I started to implement "ip wifi".
My GIT tree is located at: http://cthulhu.c3d2.de/~astro/git/iproute2.git/ I wonder if this has a chance to get merged in iproute2 somewhen at all, or if this is completely inappropriate functionality for this tool. Note that this my first contribution to a Linux-specific tool, *any* hints about style and conventions demanded here are welcome. I'm sure not everyone will use this instead of wireless-tools, and a few even don't want it compiled in and linked with iwlib. Should I make this optional through a Makefile variable? If noone else contributes not all of wireless-tools will be implemented, it's just too much. But basic stuff for configuring a Wifi card is already there. Everyone told me dscape is near, but I hope iwlib will be ported then. Stephan
