One of the nice features of Windows is that it "remembers" the wifi networks that you commonly connect to, and will auto-connect when it sees it's within range of a known network.

With PCLOS 2010, it *will* auto-connect if the wifi network is the same as the last time the laptop was used (e.g., two consecutive power-ups at home, or 2 consecutive power-ups at work). But if I move my laptop between work and home, I have to manually search for available wifi networks (giving the root password), then select the network to connect to.

Is there a way for PCLOS 2010 to maintain a list of wifi networks it has connected to in the recent past, and just auto-connect when it sees them?

Thanks for any info.
