a stupid but easy wireless question
Say I just connected to a wireless network like this:
iwconfig wlan0 essid mynet
iwconfig wlan0 key s:mykey
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient wlan0
what's the best way to disconnect?

Maybe "ifconfig wlan0 down"
Improve your desktop responsiveness and font rendering and ALSA sound and BusyBox init

By the way, if you wish, you may put the iwconfigs on one line like so:
iwconfig wlan0 essid mynet key S:mykey
