I did post this earlier but in the general section... think it's better in the How To:
Also the people that making this is now making a new version of it, that will support hidden SSID, more wpa settings from the gui, etc,etc.
Anyone who has using wifi connections on linux based system knows it can be a pain in the **.
Now there is a person that have done a python gui script, that support WEP/WPA etc.
That run on startup and connects without the need of enter a password everytime (gnome network manager) and it also have wifi scan, click and connect, and more..
And since this is a py script it will also run on FC.
