wifi connection manager recommenadations

[Lubos Vrbka <lists@vrbka.net>]

hi guys,

i am looking for a good wifi connection manager for debian etch. at the 
moment, i must have the actual connection hard-coded in 
/etc/network/interfaces. changing the network then involves editing 
interfaces file, ifdown/ifup... i am now gonna travel a bit and use many 
different networks and this attitude is, i'd say, suboptimal (or 
annoying - i am getting lazy).

what functionality i'd like to have?

1) start this application (undex X)
2) check for networks around
3) connect to a known one or select an unknown network

for my home network, i need WPA. i am using enlightenment as a window 
manager. most of kde/gnome is installed as well (you cannot avoid it 
anyway), but i am not much familiar with the configuration details of 
these two 'packages'.

i've tried with kwifimanager, but it seems to pick only the network 
defined in /etc/network/interfaces - it doesn't see anything else. and 
when i remove the definitions in interfaces file, it sees more networks, 
but i am not able to connect to them :(

thanks for any suggestions.

best,
