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.
I'm using exactly knetworkmanager even under gnome or xfce.
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.
The adhoc network with enabled SSID interferes with the infrastructure network with hidden SSID. I use "Connect to other" and, if there's no adhoc network with same SSID around, it connects to the hidden SSID. Like it should do. But if there's a network with same SSID Networkmanager connects to it no matter if you have choosen a different (the infrastructure network in my case) originally. Result is that Networkmanager tries to connect to the adhoc with shown SSID and fails of course. Even good old Windows has options like: - prefer infrastructure - only connect to infrastructure Inside the library I use to go there are - obvisously - many users who don't know what they are doing. They open a adhoc network instead of connecting to the infrastructure. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
