Well NetworkManager or Wcid will detect any wireless access points and list them for you to connect to. But you have to connect to it once to save it so you can connect later. There is no way that I know of to accomplish what you want to do. It is just not feeseable. -Beau <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 8:20 PM, mark Pyles <<a href="mailto:markfpyles@gmail.com">markfpyles@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi everyone: I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Gnome desktop) on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Is there a program that I can download that will detect and connect my computer with any wireless networks that it detects? Thanks.
