wpa_supplicant in roaming mode might be suitable. /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant has everything you need. Coles notes: 1. copy the example configuration to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 2. Define your networks in wpa_supplicant.conf as described in example file and /usr/share/doc 2b. Use network definition order, and priority keyword to have preferred assocation 3. Add defined networks to /etc/network/interfaces 4. restart network (I do a reboot to make sure everything is restarted. 5. (optional) install wpa_gui to manage from the desktop. I find it's buggy, but unless you're running conky, it's a good way to see what you're connected to, and switch it if it happens to grab the wrong one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
