Wireless AP selector?

[m00dawg]

Every few months I try to look for one of these and never quite figure it out I know there is another post about this, but I can't think of what to search for My problem is I my laptop to be able to figure out which wireless profile to use based upon the ESSID. So when I'm at UT, and I pop in my wireless card and it finds 'utexas', it knows not to do anything else. But when I go home I want to use my encyrpted WAP key for my own ESSID (once more, there a multiple ESSID's around my apartment, so it needs to compare which one I want).

Basically I want what Windows has. Ther I said it.

I don't know if different profiles are officially supported in any software. That would be a nice feature. It should be pretty easy to fix with a small edit to an init script, however. My laptop hard drive crashed, so I have been using Knoppix on it and can't test this out, but probably somewhere in /etc/init.d there is a script that calls iwconfig with some parameters. To make the parameters dependent on which access points are nearby, replace that line of code with something like this:
