Have you tried to use a program from the network-manager family?

$ apt-cache search network-manager
knetworkmanager - User friendly KDE frontend for NetworkManager
network-manager - network management framework daemon
network-manager-dev - network management framework (development files)
network-manager-gnome - network management framework (GNOME frontend)

It's an extremely neat tool, and I wonder how I lived without it. You'll
get a small tray icon which allows you to disconnect from a network and
reconnect. It also stores the passphrases for wireless networks if wanted.
