I will try that again, but last time I checked it only supports WEP. And I'd still like to use "roaming mode" and the notification area network manager, but I'd just like it to NOT CONNECT if I've never connected to any of the visible nodes before. It should say "do you want to connect to any of these APs?" before it actually connects to one. Then after I've connected to one it can remember it and auto-connect in the future.

That's true, but if I have not connected to any of the local APs it just connects to any it can find.

Also, even if I have connected to a secure network before, if there is an unsecured network present, it tries to connect to that instead.

Thanks for your help.
