I don't know for those of you in Gnome-land, but in KDE with KNetworkmanager (the KDE front end to networkmanager) you right click the icon in the system tray, and you'll be presented with a list of available wifi networks. If you want to connect to another - for example, one that has a hidden SSID like mine - then you select "Connect to other" and enter the gory details.
