     The utility should not only talk to wpa_supplicant. It should also hack
/etc/network/interfaces to configure it for wifi roaming.

     It should also allow the user to specify dhcp or a static address, 
also ask
for a name for the corresponding section to add to /etc/network/interfaces,
in case of a static address.

     These are the only things wpa_gui is missing. For the rest, it is a 
good example.

     Many thanks for proposing to do it :-)
