There is a possibility to call scripts in WiCd for each network with
pre- and post-connection scripts and pre- and post-disconnection.

I have tried to use dnssec-trigger-control as post-connection script
but it doesn't work, I need to find why...

Some other issue with DHCP client: since the resolv.conf file is
immutable, there is a minor problem when dhcpcd try to write
into ("Permission denied / Operation not permitted").

So, for the Slackware network configuration script I have modify a
value in the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:

  DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[0]="yes"

As 0 is for the interface number.

I have also add a directive in /etc/dhcpcd.conf to desactivate
the hook who try to change the resolv.conf file:

  nohook resolv.conf

It's probably not necessary to make the first change since
the second one is done, but just in case...

Bye.
