Well, I only had old WEP system.  I ordered chronological order.  Maybe
for squeeze, I should reconsider.  

It looks like squeeze should have better network-manager or its
alternative for laptop due to enhancement of these softwares.  Although
transition will be somewhat rocky...

Are you squeeze?  ifmetric trick should help.  I got sick of wireless and
wired my house with 100mbps connected to 100mbps optical.  (I will be
upgrading to 1Gbps line soon or my house.)

lenny->squeeze transition for network-manager is another issue.  With
new squeeze kernel, my MacBook will have smooth WEP/WAP capability.
Once I see testing to stabilize (i.e. decent security support etc.), I
may be more active with WEP/WAP.
