Knetworkmanager.

It puts a little representation of the world in the panel, click on it
for a config.  pop up. For some insane reason it's not in the menu
system.

I start it from ALT-F2

Yes I agree it seems to be nuts to have the network configuration at
the user level, but it's very useful to be able to choose the network
to join manually.
