automate wireless + i8kmon + conky

[Jacob Rideout]

(1) you can set your network config in /etc/network/interfaces
(2) i8k broke for me in dapper, it worked fine in breezy, (i couldn't figure
it out either)
(3) I have never used conky

As for /etc/network/interfaces

you'll want something like this, but read the docs first

auto eth0
inet eth0 dhcp
wireless_essid network
wireless_key key
