The settings for your network connection live in /etc/network/interfaces on Ubuntu. Using a tool like ifscheme you can set up different network profiles that would associate you with different essid's. As for automatically picking an essid when one fails, you'll probably have to do some scripting. > Second, if there is not such a tool, would it be possible to write a > script to that effect, so when my laptop boots up, it checks to see if > my essid is available, and if it is not, to see if the byucougars one > is, and then any others? 'iwlist scan' will show you what wireless networks are available. That will help with the script. You may also want to take a look at netapplet.[1] I haven't used it, but it may be just what you need.
