Robert, I'm confused. Don't you have to specify the name of the 
wireless network, its SSID? Does that get saved with each location or 
do you have select the wireless pref pane and enter the relevant name 
after each switch? Or is there a new driver that detects and presents 
a list as the Airport does?
