My assumption was that Linley wants to do this from a GUI. Also, this
doesn't work if you're associated with an AP.
For reference, Windows XP pops up a list of available APs and you can
chop and change between them.

You can use cron(tab), but you'd need to set the DISPLAY variable
appropriately:

That's assuming the cron job is running as the same user and same host as
