I've been using Neil's script [slightly modified, but THANK YOU very
much!] for a while. One thing to note: Even if you have DHCPMON
running, it will only show that the lease that you had for your wired
connection is no longer there. It does NOT pick up the WiFi lease
status.
My ignorant explanation is: The monitor is only looking at LAN0. And,
the Settings->MonitorInterface only shows LAN0. I have never been able
to figure out from any documentation how to get it to switch and look
at LAN1.
My test to see if the WiFi is active is to simply look at the IPSpeed
monitor to see if there is a second network and, if so, switch to what
I believe to be the WiFi and see if there is traffic flowing. Doing a
ReLoad with Mozilla is also a good clue: If it does something, then
the WiFi must be active... ;-)
