Kernel version
--------------

iwconfig and the other tools might complain about version conflicts. This
version of iwconfig works with the interface found in recent 2.4.x kernels.
This fixes a conflict between wireless and mii ioctls. It should still be
usable on older kernels though.

/etc/network/interfaces
-----------------------

You can now add extra statements to the iface sections of the files in
/etc/network/interfaces that are specific for wireless interfaces. They are of
the form:

    wireless_<function> <value>

Before the interface is brought up, such a statement will result in the
execution of the following command:

    iwconfig <interface> <function> <value>

Example:

iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.2
    network 192.168.1.0
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    wireless_essid Home
    wireless_mode ad_hoc
