[ubuntu-uk] jaunty available

[Tony Pursell]

Hi Dave

To see the available wi-fi networks, I just click on the wi-fi icon, top 
right between the battery icon and the sound volume icon.  Then select 
the one to connect to.

The default Xandros makes it easy to search for them and see details on each wi fi connection, but does Ubuntu have this? I have searched for it as well in Ubuntu 8.04 on a laptop with a wi fi inbuilt, but still I cannot find any wi fi search facility. Surely such a program is ESSENTIAL today, so why is it missing or otherwise hidden in Ubuntu?
