I finally got madwifi, wpa_supplicant and my Acer Aspire 5100-3357 talking
to my home wifi network, last night.

I then remembered that a friend of mine was using a gui tool to manage his
wifi preferences, and decided to ask him about it.

He's using wifi radar...it's a python based package.

There is a Fedora RPM package for it, though it's 2 releases behind. 
Google turned it up at

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/repoview/wifi-radar.html

while the project lives at:

http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/

There's another project that looks promising...wicd...which lives at:

http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

I plan on giving wifi radar a try.
