In regards to wi fi, when using UNR 9.04 on my Asus Eee PC 901, how do I search for wi fi networks? The default Xandros makes it easy to search for them and see details on each wi fi connection, but does Ubuntu have this? I have searched for it as well in Ubuntu 8.04 on a laptop with a wi fi inbuilt, but still I cannot find any wi fi search facility. Surely such a program is ESSENTIAL today, so why is it missing or otherwise hidden in Ubuntu?
