OS X never ceases to amaze. I love the fact that it is a UNIX OS...and can be managed from the command line.
As for managing the wireless from the command line...I absolutely love it. Of course, you can use ifconfig to manage the interface...but the ability to manage the "wireless networks" is extremely fascinating...think about it...you could write scripts to manage wireless connections etc...

The *nix shell was one of the major reasons why I switched from windows to os x a couple years ago. The only things i've found to piss me off... is the inability to switch to passive mode on my wireless card... *shudders*
