[ale] multiple network setups (wireless)?

[James Sumners]

>From the homepage (http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/waproamd/): "You can
priorize networks over others by adding symbolic links to the default script to
/etc/waproamd/scripts."

I know of no other program that does anything like this. It would be really nice
if someone would write a Gnome (or just GTK+ based) app that would let you
configure several network profiles and try to connect to them in order of
preference. KWiFiManger (http://kwifimanager.sourceforge.net/) exists for KDE
but it sucked last time I used it. Could I quit complaining and write one
myself? Sure, if I were not concentrating on school.

If you are really interested in Linux and wireless you should read through --
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ --. It is full of links to
applications (specifically at the bottom of 
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html) and alternate
drivers. This page is indispensible if you are seriously working with wireless
and Linux (as I do at work).

condition to which they are quickly addicted."
