Under almost all distros there are wizards which can help youset these

The Linux WiFi wizards that I have used (on three or four distros)
are not as good as they should be,
and certainly not as good as the corresponding Windows wizards.
That is the thrust of my complaint.

As already outlined (47rte3-vq2.ln1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) in this
thread, the solution is pretty easy:

[x] send patch.

Or get/pay someone to do the job, mail your distro about the
matter, whatever. But what does it help to fire up this annoying
rant in coln?
