In every other platform I use (Windows, OSX, Android) there's a simple GUI tool for choosing a WiFi network. You never have to enter an SSID, unless the network is hidden. Kind of essential feature if you're in a coffee shop and the barista is busy. Not seeing this in the Unity GUI. Am I missing something?

And yes, I did click on the network icon. So if that's where my WiFi networks are supposed to be, why aren't they? Can't detect the WiFi card? Other Linux distros don't have this problem with my Dell Lattitude D630 (kind of a common system).

It'd be nice if it said it couldn't find my WiFi card.
