Perhaps you are working in gnome, I am a KDE guy, however your pointers
may get me going in the general direction.
I usually use KDE too but after Steve's post I thought I should have a
look at the latest Ubuntu.
In Mepis (KDE) I simply select
System > Mepis > Mepis Network assistant
After that I do not think you could go wrong following your nose. (You
need to know the SID and keys)
Ubuntu 7.04 was even easier...
An applet, in the top right of the screen, called NetworkManager Applet
0.6.4
was automatically installed.
Right clicking the applet shows the detected networks (which was even
better than Mepis) and you select the one you want to connect to (not
the insecure neighbour's one in my case) and follow your nose again.
