I'm running Debian (Sarge still, going to jump to Etch this weekend) on
a laptop. I've got the wireless working great. I run wireless in my
house with a WEP key in place, but most of my friends' wireless networks
are wide open. So when I go to their houses, I end up having to drop to
a command line so I can enter a "iwconfig eth1 enc off" command, then
rerun "dhclient eth1" to get an IP address, etc., sometimes running an
"ifdown / ifup" cycle.
Is there a nice GUI tool that will just show me the wireless networks
that are available and let me pick one (prompting for passkey if
necessary), ala Win XP? I feel like I'm working in the dark ages on my
high-tech Latitude D800.
Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
