I know I had tried waproamd.  That's quite an acronym, I think it stands
for "W"ireless "A"ccess "P"oint "ROAM"ing "D"aemon.

Anyway, I'm unsure as to whether or not that's the latest/best way to do
it, but at some point in the past year, I did have it working.

I should also point out that wpa_supplicant will do some of this for
you.  You can define multiple networks in it's conf file. And calling
"wpa_cli reassociate <network_name>" will do the trick.

If you want something that remembers auto-discovered ones, and
integrates with the system tray, Joel's suggestion may be more on the money.

You will have to let us know what you find out, because I've had this
question before too.
