	Very simple :
	1) Define 4 different Pcmcia schemes, one for each config
	   Check Pcmcia Howto + Wireless Tools PCMCIA.txt on the issue
	2) Read the documentation in the source code of iwgetid.c
	3) Write shell/perl script using cardctl+iwgetid appropriately
	4) Post script on mailing list, I'll add it on my web page

	Have fun...
