I think that I wasn't clear enough, all what has been suggested is to use some applet or some command line to bring up an interface already configured by root. I don't want command line, because most of people do not know/want to use it, and my problem is not solved in this way. Let's go to an example: Being a laptop that I lend to John Doe for sometimes to go to a congress. At the airport, J.D. want to use the wifi ESSID=Airport key=whatever At the hotel, J.D. use the lan cable (no problem dhcp). When back home (or at friend home), he has an ISP and can use the modem with the phone number and password given by his ISP. I don't want to give the root password to John Doe. What can I do? Are there some pam command to do this?
