I am have not used waproamd, however, getwifi currently joins wireless
networks with a similar configuration. It is meant to be run to join
networks that you are using regularly. The updates I have been working
on will include wep and wpa support. The next version will also
include the ability to scan for networks that are being broadcast. It
will use iwlist to scan for wireless networks but that isn't
implemented yet.
