setup

Copy netselect to somewhere in your path.

Up and down scripts are executed with root permissions using sudo

usage

Available profiles

Let's say the following profiles are available:

[me@foo]$ scselect
Defined sets include: (* == current set)
   D28AC42A-7661-4FE1-B49F-63DA19FABF19	(Home)
   BDBFA23C-D3B9-4E43-9A18-C75C33259217	(Automatic)
 * 7C1E23D1-AB04-4C82-B0C1-05F1262BEAC6	(Home2)

Pick a profile

A matches profile name Automatic:

[me@foo]$ netselect a
Switching network profile: Home2 -> Automatic

home matches Home exactly:

[me@foo]$ netselect home
Switching network profile: Home2 -> Home

Errors

Ambigous selection: ho matches Home and Home2:

[me@foo]$ netselect ho
ERROR: Multiple profiles(#2) start with 'ho'.
-> Profile name must start with or equal pattern (case-inensitive).
