Re: This GOT to be stupid... How do I do a GUI wireles scan in Ubuntu 10.04 ?
I also had to add the Notification Area to the panel; a place for the n-m icon to be.

I installed a from-scratch 10.04 and I can't find a way to run a GUI scan. I can live with a manual scan from a terminal, but I am going to face a hard sell for the uninitiated... What am I missing?

Check the section Using network-admin, the GUI Network Tool about a screen scroll down on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo Also, there should be an applet in the top or bottom bar to click and do wifi connections. I don't know GNOME well since I use KDE usually. But, something should already be there.
