    multiple wireless lans

    i have a laptop with a built in wireless lan, and i also have another usb one, they both work fine driver wise

    i usually use the built in to connect to my home network, and the ubuntu's wireless software automatically connect with my stored WPA key,
    the problem is that when i connect the 2nd usb wireless adapter, it also autoamtically connects to my home network useing the same configuration

    i want to be able to control that, i want that wireless software to control only one card, and leave the other so that i can use it normally, maybe with other lans,

    and if i use it to connect to a differnt wireless lan, how will i be able to change the "default gateway" for my pc, so that i can be able to choose which network of the 2 do i want to use internet from, and keep the other for lan only
    (network1 192.168.2.* and network2 192.168.5.*)


    edit:
    also is there some better wireless client software outthere that is better than the one built in ubuntu that could deal with my sitiuation a little better ? , i saw something called "wlanassistant" in other linuxes , is that anygood ? and how to get it ?

    why not just use the ubuntu network manager instead of whatever software you are using
