again, I suggest you give wifi-radar a try - it will do exactly what you 
described - it opens a GUI, gives you a list of available wireless networks, 
gives you the ability to configure security, offers a connect to command, and 
does an excellent job of starting/stopping the radios on a couple of laptops 
I've tried it on that wouldn't respond to other utilities - I can't speak to 
network-manager; people who have it working successfully swear by it, but 
there are tons of complaints and discussions about it come up repeatedly on 
this list

to be clear, I've not tried wifi-radar on a lot of machines - it could have 
its own set of issues; I don't see it discussed negatively ever, but, that 
could be just that a lot of people don't use it - in any event, it will take 
you no more than 5 minutes to install it and  give it a shot if you're still 
looking for a solution
