Your fist will get awful tired!  As I pointed out in my previous email,
my D-Link does this.  :-/

How hard do you think it would be to not only keep (a) and (b/g) networks
separate, but also provide a clue in the UI which is the (a) and which
is the (b/g)?  In a similar note, how hard would it be to add ordering
preferences in lieu of most-recently-used?  My reasoning: I'd like to connect
to the ietf (a) network instead of the ietf (b/g) network when there's
an (a) AP in range..  But when there isn't an (a) network I do want it
to fallback to (b/g)...

Thanks for all your hard work!
