I've been using Network Monitor on my laptop for the past few weeks.  I
have wireless at work and at home and having Network Monitor really
helps when moving between wired and wireless.

I did notice two things you should be aware of if you're going to use
it:

When my laptop resumes, it'll take at least a minute for the wireless
connection to come back up.  It's a little annoying to have to wait and
fiddle to see if the connection is actually working.

The other thing is that every now and then, Network Monitor will scan
for ESSIDs in the area.  With my IBM X40 (madwifi driver) wireless card,
this pauses any network connections while that's going on.  You can
really see this when you're using SSH.

Still, it's better than having to fiddle with the command line.  I'm
sure these problems will be fixed over time.
