Frontend to (ifup iwconfig dhclient) -- easy WLAN connection manager

Hi,

I was wondering wether there's a nice frontend to manage WLAN
connection (let's say like the many ones in windows(r) ...).

I live in a place where there are many networks available. Running
simply "ifup device" will choose the strongest network available, even
if it's not the one I want to use. So I have to do it manually with
iwlist iwconfig and dhclient.

Isn't there some nice gui, where I may click on the SSID and have the
connection be established?

Regards,
Matthias
