8.2 Wireless improvements?

Outside of what I've read, does anyone have any insight as to what they've done to improve wireless capabilities? Right now I have a T30 with a mini-PCI wireless card and it works great (SuSE 7.3 using hostap drivers). However, it's all manual scripts to bring up the interface, connect, etc. What I'd love to see down the road is something integrated into the OS (or KDE/Gnome) is something similar to what OS X has. Automatically listing available access points, click to connect, determine if a WEP key is needed, ask for it, and assign IP to that card based on how it's setup in YaST (DHCP or static). This would be huge for usability. If tools like this already exist, please educate me. I haven't found them yet if they do. Thanks. - Greg
