I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 on a Dell 1420.  Wifi work great.  

However, for some reason, my home Wifi is second choice and it always locates and connects to a neighborhood Wifi access point instead of mine.  The indicator in the upper panel allows me to change to my home Wifi so that is no problem.

Does anyone know of a Wifi manager that works from the command line or a less sophisticated window manager such as TWM (a light weight GUI will do).  I'm looking for something that allowing me to see a list of available networks and choose one.

I've Googled and searched through the man pages associated with wireless-tools but either am missing something or don't have the right tools yet.
