I've got it on raised so that it has airflow on all sides, and I keep the lid open. I'm pretty sure that its just some quirk with the wireless router and computer interacting.

The reason I need this is because I'm using an iBook as a home server (I'm cheap, I already had the machine, so relax) and my wireless network every few days flaps. Its not too much of a problem for an interactive user, but its a pain to go dig out the laptop and reconnect it, especially since it is under the bed. Yeah, I should figure out why the wireless is flapping, but I don't see any obvious reasons, and it isn't that much of a problem.. To answer all those folks who are asking why?

For example, you could script connecting to another router once bandwidth has hit a limit. It's also just useful for troubleshooting wireless problems.

If you just have to do only one thing, a mouseclick might be faster, but if you do all your tasks with the command line, after a short time you'll beat every GUI-User...

Don't get me wrong, I have found CLIs more efficient than GUIs for many networking and programming environments. However, I agree with Chuck - you're taking something simple and doing it in a more complicated manner. Uh… why would you do this?
