Utilizing multiple WAPs

Sooo... what would be the easiest way to select between multiple access points? Is there a good application which is not an applet (as I use xfce), I do not believe that I have wireless extensions enabled either.

Have you tried putting multiple "profiles" in your wireless.opts file? You will need wireless-tools installed to use your wireless.opts file.

Well if I'm on the road I don't really want to edit files to attach to the network, do you have any automated tools which you utilize?

sorry, I am not much of a gui guy...

I believe you can use Kwifimanager with xfce if you have the right libraries, but I have never done this.

I would be interested if you find an app though.
