In my /etc/dhclient.conf, I have:

interface "wi0" {
    media "-mediaopt adhoc nwid CMU", "mediaopt adhoc", "-mediaopt adhoc nwid ANY";
}

which tells dhclient to first check for the CMU BSS (at work), then an
adhoc network (at home), and finally an open BSS network.  Now we just need
a way to configure encryption keys from ifconfig.

The wavelan Win98 drivers have configurable "profiles".  Maybe we could add
a "profile" option to ifconfig and then configure the profiles with
wiconfig.  Thus:

wiconfig wi0 -X work -n CMU
wiconfig wi0 -X work -p 1
wiconfig wi0 -X work -k sekrit -v 1
wiconfig wi0 -X work -e 1
wiconfig wi0 -X home -p 3
wiconfig wi0 -X home -e 0

ifconfig wi0 profile work
ifconfig wi0 profile home
