I though of this as well, but I dont see this being that much required 
for any of the problems discussed until now like e.g. the switch between 
cabled and WLAN connection to the same local network - such topics need 
to be solved on IP basis and you need quite some knowledge for this (for 
example not everybody knows what ARP is and when it would be absolutely 
required to flush it in that scenario...).

A good reason for scripts would be if e.g. at your home you had no DHCP 
server and would need to use "manual" IP configuration, and then no 
default gateway was set, or the DNS entries were not set...)

This is definitely on the todo list. Unfortunately this is a major 
change and it will definitely will break the compatibility to WifiState..

thanx, Christian
