The questions mentioned in the text can't be answered by simple boot scripts, and handling them by hand is a real hassle.
The system service can monitor physical networks and choose (and automatically configure) kernel network interfaces based on a set of rules that make sense to the user. The service should be able to respond to request from users, who in turn should be able to change the wireless network they're on without becoming root.
The text emphasizes the importance of a system service to handle complex aspects of network configuration, connectivity options, and user preferences. Unlike simple boot scripts, a system service actively monitors and selects kernel network interfaces based on user-friendly rules. This service is essential for responding to user requests and facilitating seamless transitions between wireless networks without the need for root access.
