Yes, there are several programs that can be used for this.

[userx@void ~]$ sudo iwlist scan|grep SSID
Password:
sudo: iwlist: command not found
[userx@void ~]$
[userx@void ~]$ sudo iw dev wlp3s0 scan|grep SSID
SSID: Google Starbucks
SSID: ConnectCC

[userx@void ~]$
the SSID is Google StarBucks that I added to it during setup / install
[userx@void ~]$ ls /etc

that is all of /etc
if you notice it does not have every directory that is installed in other Linux Distros for one, and if you look closely you'll see that it is using wpa_supplicant.
Compiling network-manager-applet-1.0.4 or lesser
I've already added some of the files it tells me it is missing, then run ./configue again to run into this.
configure: error: Package requirements (dbus-glib-1 >= 0.74
gio-2.0 >= 2.32
NetworkManager >= 1.0.0
libnm-glib >= 1.0.0
libnm-util >= 1.0.0
libnm-glib-vpn >= 1.0.0
gmodule-export-2.0) were not met:No package 'dbus-glib-1' found
No package 'NetworkManager' found
No package 'libnm-glib' found
No package 'libnm-util' found
No package 'libnm-glib-vpn' found
it is not getting trhough the installing of all of this that is stopping me from doing it. it is the I do not want to install all of this, especailly NetworkManager >= 1.0.0 Because I do not want to run into conflicts and have this NetworkManager >= 1.0.0 mess up my already working WIFI -- that only logs onto Google Starbucks because I set it up to do so during install.
Because I like having that applet up on my status bar so I can see what is going on at a glance, and if need be I can change the SSID on a click's notice.

Why don't you just write a BASH function to connect with the `nmcli` command?
Read:
man nmcli
&
man bash
For more on this
Alternatively: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … nual_setup
Adjust for use with Void, obviously...

It already auto logs on to Starbucks only because 99.9 % of the time because that is where I am at using WIFI 99.9% of the time but I too just like looking at the bells and Whisles too

They don't sell "coffee" coffee ... But they need to re-paint a few trucks, this is the correct wrong message:

I wholeheartedly agree with the statement on the van.
I am the only one irked by their use of a literary character as a brand name?
I mean really, what does Moby-Dick have to do with coffee?
Pretentious bunch of [redacted]...

^ hey I only go here for the killer fast WIFI. I just got a put up with the over priced not really all that good tasing coffee they sell here, but I got lucky and someone that works here gave me a free gold card to sign up for so I get most my coffee for free. and every body loves free
even though they are ran by people that way over price everything in the store.

@ head_on_a_Stick
Donno do whales drink coffee? Hey, not Moby Dick at all ... a two-tailed mermaid ... go figure.
The Evolution of the Starbucks Logo
BTW: I agree with you. I got served a coffee on a commercial flight once, took two sips and before the "stewart" could move on I asked him, "What brand is this, and can I change it for a coke please". He quietly stated, "Starbucks, we get that a lot." and a little louder, "Here's you coke sir" as he made the exchange. "I don't Starbuck!"

Coffee: Most coffee brewed outside my kitchen tastes like thin mud.
Wifi: What about conky or someting shellish like this
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F "\"" '/ESSID/ { print $2 }'
(please adapt to your system)
to monitor and wpa_gui to change networks? I think it even has a systray icon, but I could be wrong.
