# Usage:

# chmod +x snic.sh

# and then

# Wired network interface, example:

# snic.sh eth0 router              // Switch eth0 to router mode
# snic.sh eth0 client              // Switch eth0 to client mode

# snic.sh wlan0 router wireless    // Switch wlan0 to router (Wi-Fi hotspot) mode
# snic.sh wlan0 client wireless    // Switch wlan0 to client mode

# snic.sh <interface> <mode> <wireless (optional)>

# <wireless (optional)> should be used only for wireless interfaces!
