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.).
