/etc/network/interfaces

[Willem van der Walt]

Hi,
If you talk about different wifi networks, not different access points for 
the same network, you can control the order of preference with the 
priority line in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
I found it much more reliable to activate and deactivate the wifi manually 
than giving the thing a mind of its own to decide when and to what it 
wants to connect.
As part of the kies package, I wrote a cli-based wifi configuration tool.
If you want it, you can get kies from:

Regards, Willem
