Done

I will ask Wifi Switcher author to include my mods into the official package. Until then, as a temporary solution for app. manager problem, you can pin wifi-switcher:
  • open xterm
  • become root ("root" or "sudo gainroot")
  • open /etc/apt/preferences with a text editor (for example, "leafpad /etc/apt/preferences")
  • add the following text to the file:
Package: wifi-switcher
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001
WARNING: this will prevent apt from replacing or updating wifi-switcher, you won't be able to update the package anymore unless you remove the pin.
