Description:
Currently the ifplugd package doesn't seem to integrate well with the automatic wireless setup described here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles#Connecting_automatically

I followed the instructions here and could successfully connect to the configured wireless networks. But upon disabling and re-enabling the wireless connection (using the button on my laptop) the wireless connection was not restarted correctly.

In spite of this I was able to get it working properly using the following steps:
- adding the wlan0 interface to the ifplugd.conf
- copy the netcfg.action to netcfg-wireless.action and replacing the "ethernet|ethernet-iproute" with "wireless"

Could the "wireless" option be added to the netcfg.action or could it at least be made configurable without adding it "inside" the action-script somewhere?


Additional info:
* package version(s)
- ifplugd 0.28-7

This task depends upon
