automate wireless + i8kmon + conky

[eduard]

Thanks to Roshan and Jacob. I solved my first problem installing dhcp3 
server and configuring properly the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file.

I have not yet automaticaly started the i8kmon. Jacob: have you seen 
this thread?

In an irc i could solve my conkyrc file problem including my email 
password account in that file. As this file also contains the host and 
my accounts name, do you think it can be unsafe to have all this 
information included in a file? This also reminds me another old 
question i have in mind long ago: is there an easy way (for non experts) 
to control whether someone has/is accessed/ing my computer?
