I have a static wpa_supplicant.conf for the wireless networks I frequently visit so I connect to them automatically whenever they are in range and I try to use wpa_cli manually to connect to other networks when roaming (which doesn't happen often). I kinda vaguely remember someone writing a set of scripts (using dmenu perhaps) to list and connect to available networks. If they don't exist then you could go about writing them yourself using above tools. Best, -- [a]
