Wifi Radar For Linux to Manage and Detect Wireless connections
Wifi Radar is a free small utility for Linux which help you find wifi connections near you and give you option to automatically connect to network and overview signal strength. You can create new profiles and set connection priority if a network is inaccessible you’ll automatically be connected to other network you specified.
Wifi Radar’s interface is pretty simple and its very usable utility because nothing like this comes by default in Linux so for people using laptops and wifi this free piece of software is a must have.

Great app for Linux! Thanks for sharing Techiesouls!
This is instructive for those of us that are trying to find our foot with Ubuntu. My latest installation of Ubuntu 9 has not been smooth. So much problem with my video card Navida. Almost getting me discouraged from switching from Windows.
