I came here to say this. Well done pete.

I use this to change wifi power on certain networks:

Code:
 cat /etc/network/if-up.d/50_wifiscripts
#!/bin/sh
essid=$(iwgetid -s)

if [ "$essid" == "home" ]; then
        iwconfig wlan0 txpower 4
        echo $essid
elif [ "$essid" == "work" ]; then
        iwconfig wlan0 txpower 6
fi
Combine the above with a gconf toggle as suggested and done.
