My home network uses WPA2 encryption so i use the wpa-supplicant to set that up, but if i go out and about and hit free wifi spots, I have to add the info for them into the wpa-supplicant.conf file to get it to access it.

I think the subject was something like "ifconfig - GUI interface". Have 
a search on the list's archive.
