Try setting up a wpa_supplicant configuration (and putting "WPA DHCP" in 
rc.conf); that does the proximity-switching for you (and does so for me, 
happily).

I don't really know whether wpa_supplicant works with non-security-enabled 
(i.e. non-WEP and non-WPA) wireless networks, but I guess there's a switch to 
tell it to do so.
