thinking of putting Gentoo back on my laptop. If I do how hard is it when I go to a wifi spot for it to pick up available networks? Any info would be helpful Thanks.

Code:
iwlist scan


That usually works for detecting them. It isn't always as easy connecting. Does anyone know of a good gui out there for connecting? I'm ok with editing my wpa_supplicant script, but sometimes that's just so damn inconvenient.
