But I'm still naming the wireless network in my rc.conf file. (DHCP connection) But as I go to join other wireless DHCP networks around the world, what's the best way to: #1 - see what networks are available (and perhaps their strength?) #2 - switch to that network without rebooting to do it from rc.conf? If there's a tutorial about this kind of thing (besides /handbook/network-wireless.html) - please point me there. Thanks!
