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?

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