I have to admit how much I envy you all guys. I have tried dozens of
those automagical tools for wifi connection management, but in the end
I always ended up using wpa_supplicant (with hand-written custom
config files) + dhclient. There is no tool that does just "connect me
to a wifi that I select" without forcing me, sooner or later, to do
more work than needed with wpa_supplicant + dhclient :(

Life is tough, here in the cave... :D
