no way to specify mode restricted in network admin

[Dirk Niggemann]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

There is no way to create entries that look like this in /etc/network/interfaces from the network admin tool, or from ad-hoc networking.

iface wlan1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid mySSID
wireless-key restricted aabbccddeeffaabbccddeeff
auto wlan1

Specifically there is no way to add the 'restricted' keyword to the set-up when a key is added.

This is required for WiFi on my Fujitsu stylistic st4110p (prism2 or orinoco, doesn't matter what i use on feisty. on edgy only the orinoco drivers worked) to work correctly with the slightly wonky AP set-up I'm using.

The problem is that this makes it impossible to use this interface in roaming mode, so i need to manually configure it for roaming and manually reenter the restricted keyword and key into the /etc/network/interfaces wwhen i'm done.

Also, the dual interfaces (wifi0 and wlan1) are really confusing for new users. Is there a way to determine in a generic manner that configuration should only be done on the actual wlanX interface?
