Not a GUI, but I'm using a script called wiconfig which is discussed at: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20120113172334 Currently I'm running it on a ThinkPad T500 with CURRENT and an old HP laptop running 5.3 RELEASE. Works great. I can suspend my laptop at home, go over to my girlfriends place and, upon resume, it'll automatically connect to her WiFi. The same thing if there are no WiFi available except for my Android phone in hotspot-mode. There a some security concerns though. Read the article at Undeadly.
