</div>I manage wireless with wpa_supplicant.conf right now. There is wpa_cli,<br>
but I've found it less than useful in general; you just have to trust<br>
your priorities for networks.<br>
<br>
If you're willing to run NetworkManager, you can define your own<br>
wireless connections[1] and then use nmcli to connect to them.<br>
<br>
For power management, just get yourself access to UPower and you can<br>
suspend and hibernate without getting root privs by using DBus. UDisks<br>
can manage disk mounts (there are tools that do things<br>
automatically[2]). You could, alternatively, set up autofs to mount<br>
external disks manually upon entering a special directory (e.g., cd<br>
/mnt/usb/fat/sdb2 will mount sdb2 as FAT and set perms for my user).<br>
This solution only works for one user (though you could set up<br>
directories so that the uid is a parameter and /mnt/usb/fat/1000/sdb2<br>
mounts things so UID 1000 gets full access). If you'd like to know how<br>
to do this, I can post my auto.* configs.<br>
