I'm using Ubuntu, and currently my options for connecting to wireless access points are very limited. I can use the ubuntu builtin wireless app, but it's very limited. You can't force a refresh of the wireless spots. You can set a default network - but you can't prioritize which network will it try first. I can OTOH use the iw* tool suite, but it's CLI is very inconvenient. I must do a iwlist eth1 scan (eth1, huh? Why can't I omit the web interface and have it use the only wireless interface I have), look for an access point SSID, copy it to the clipboard and then go iwconfig eth1 essid <paste_ssid_here>. Not as snappy as command line can be.
The related GUI alternative applications I found so far (gtkwifi and gwirelessapplet) are not really maintained anymore. How do you connect to wireless Access Points in Linux? Any better way than what I mentioned?
