By far the most important applet for Gnome and the continuing evolution and penetration of Linux in the workstation world.

I used WiFi Radar (http://www.bitbuilder.com/wifi_radar/) in the past but have found it clumsy and heavy. I would much prefer using GTKWifi but at the moment, it is not useful to me since I cannot add <hidden> SSIDs.

Great work so far!

Just a follow up,

Apparently, this feature is now supported in the CVS tree on sourceforge.net \\:D/

Woot!
This was the one thing really annoying me too. Fortunately I could just switch my AP to broadcast SSID (security isn't a big concern for me at the moment since my neighbour's running a completely insecure AP so I doubt anyone will bother going to the trouble of cracking my WEP key that changes weekly :-) ).

Yes I'm just kidding around, but I really dislike WEP :)
