some time ago i grew disgusted with the gui bloat surrounding this
fairly simple task (i.e., discovering and connecting to both known
and unknown networks), and i wrote a simple (well, maybe not-so-simple)
shell script which does this for me.  i wrote it for a handheld device,
but i also use it on my thinkpad, and every other laptop i control.  i've
never augmented it to handle wpa connections, but i don't think it
would be hard to do.  

anyway, in case someone else finds it usefule, the script and a
short page describing it are available here:
