What wireless tools do you all use?

Currently, I am using the wifi-radar.

However, I am unable to set priorities of which network to connect to. Hence it would always connect to the wrong network.

Is there one tool whereby it can auto connect to the network I selected for it on startup?

Thanks.

I use Wireless Tools - iwconfig.

To automate the process on startup, enter the settings into the network config file - it varies by distribution.

So what if you have to alternate between work and home where the network settings are different? How do you let the system know which to connect to?

iwconfig eth0 essid work_ssid

Not a lot of work.
