In Theroy, the NetworkManager is supposed to do this for you  
in the terminal  type   NetworkManagerInfo    
on your task bar you should get some type of spinning sonar   if you
have the ipw2200 it will NOT work.   the app doesn't support drivers
that don't scanning  for what ever reason, you can only scan from the
terminal
in the terminal,  type   iwscan list  this will list all availible AP's
