Better wireless support

[fafek2.mailing]

Hi,

Does somebody know something about better support of wireless networks 
in Ubuntu? Projects, links and so on?
I mean developing integrated GUI tools for detecting nearby APs and 
other tools which could make the most of modern wifi cards.

To be honest, network-admin is so simple tool that it doesn't contain 
some essential features.
And hey, before you can download Wifi scanner you need have a working 
Internet connection!

Ifconfig for me isn't a problem, but for a plain users is. Just as 
limited functionality of network-admin which, like ifconfig, confuses users.

I've found only these:
https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/comprehensive-coherent-wireless-client
https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/wireless-integrated-wpa-support
https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/wireless-network-sniffer

I think this should be priority for developers. Not artwork, new init 
systems.
I know everyone do what he is able to. And everyone has other priorities.

What a pity that Edgy will not be fully Wifi-ready :(

Best regards,
Rafal
