Well...time to get your hands dirty I guess, and start customizing those startup scripts....

Here's some ideas, some of which I have 1/2 implemented on my laptop:

1) after loading the wlan drivers, the network startup runs `iwlist scan` to see what APs are available;

2) cross check that list against know APs, in order to associate WEP keys, WPA, ESSID and other settings with it;

3) configure appropriately for known APs;

4) or optionally set some other values for `any` AP,
4) prompt to store new AP info in config file,
4) optionally delay wlan setup to end of normal startup and prompt user for which AP they want to attach to;

5) continue with IP config as normal.

Basically, your setting a profile dynamically based upon the conditions at startup.
