[WIFI] Connection impossible

problems with ipw2200 driver here as well; roaming between home, office
and customer-wifi networks. it is nearly impossible to easily switch
between these networks. i installed gtkwifi, but that -nice looking-
wifi-gnome-applet does not really help. i hacked some stupid
shell-scripts that:



1. modprobe the ipw2200-drivers

2. iwconfig the wifi-network

3. bring up the interface (dhclient essentially)



this works, but it's a pain in the butt ..  :-? 



anyone got a better solution for this idiocy?



(love ubuntu on my dell latitude d505 by the way)
