Wireless configurator?

Anyone know if there is a third party wireless network configurator that
simulates what winXP and WM2003 do automatically? The vendor utility for my
wireless card (Netgear WG511) is OK but it takes at least 4 clicks to
change from one wireless network to another. I have no idea why they
couldn't just make a right-click option from the system tray icon with a
drop-down list of known networks. So I am hoping there is a third-party
utility that will make it easier and quicker when I move from one network
to another.

Thanks
 
I don't think netswitcher will work in this situation.

Most wireless cards (mine is a Dlink DWR-624g) have a "SiteSurvey" command
that shown all visible access points, and automatically stores the profile
for any network to which you connect. Double-clicking on a previously
accessed site will restore that connection, complete with WEP key if
encrypted. Your Netgear card might have a similar capability.

Yes, my card came with a utility that can do this. The thing is, you have
to click the system tray icon to launch the utility. Then you have to
choose your network from a drop down list. Then you have to click "apply"
and then you have to click "close" to close the utility. That's 4 clicks. I
imagine there must be utilities where you can right-click the system tray
icon and then click the network you want and be done with it. No?
