Subject: [OS2Wireless] XWLAN options - enhancement requests

Christian, getting back to the scripts idea, I think it would be nice 
for each profile to have pre- and post- connection options. Scripts 
could be added in here. For example, I run Squid locally, which helps 
keep my Mozilla cache very small. However, when I am using any 
connection profile besides my default one (i.e., when XWLAN is taking 
some time to scan connections), Squid, which starts from my Startup 
folder, shuts down. This is because it can't validate my DNS settings. 
Yes, I know I can override this test in squid.conf, but the idea is that 
it would be nice for me to be able to specify a particular script or 
command to run after a valid DHCP lease is obtained (maybe I want to 
bring up Mozilla Mail right away, instead of clicking on it).

And again, this would allow for those who need or want connection 
scripts to change interfaces or override some DHCP-supplied parameters 
(DNS, etc.).
