There are a couple of packages out there. Devine is one for Debian users. I've created my own for use with a laptop, and wire bound LANs - not hard to create a list of gateways and walk the list pinging each one. For my wearable, I've been playing with arpping which allows you to ping a MAC address. This should be useful for probing for networks, since you don't need a valid local IP address to use it. It's easy enough to find a network once you know that you need to look, but how should you handle multiple LANs all at once through a single interface (such as the case with roaming wireless [school, work, home])? What's the best scheme for determining that you are now out of range of a previously identified network and now should probe for another? How should routing be handled? I'd like to have my wireless card be my primary interface, but handle networks via my 10/100baseT, or my CPDP/GPRS modem. I'd like to use them concurrently, picking the best route based on connection speed and cost. -Freeman > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Jones [mailto:] > Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 3:38 PM > To:
