Not the same kind of problem, but I really wonder how to do this. I
have a poor wifi connection. However, as NetworkOptions works now
there is no immidiate way of setting the essid. And if dhcpd is run
without being connected it is removed from ifconfig.

So now I basically have to do after reboot (where rausb0 is my wifi):
sudo ifconfig rausb0 up # Since dhcpd ripped it down, and setting
essid without has no effect
sudo iwconfig rausb0 essid syslink # Set essid
(... wait & pray for a good connection ...)
sudo dhcpd -n rausb0

At first glance I could add iwconfig...essid to NetworkOptions
somehow. But since I have to wait an unspecified amount of time I am
not sure how to proceed.
