Ceni

edit
One of tools for wired and wirelles networks managing is an application made by sidux developers - Ceni.
There is Ceni network configuration guide for the chapter: Sidux/Installation/Ceni
When you configure the network, it doesn't need any more your attention.
 


Wicd

edit
But if you change an access point often I suggest to install any graphic network configurator.
Wicd is a default network configurator for XFCE so install it as root:
apt-get install wicd
1. You will be asked for adding a new user to "netdev" group - mark it with "space" bottom as "x" and click OK.
 
2. Re-boot your computer.
3. Open Wicd from desktop panel-> Preferences tab-> Network Interfaces:
a. For Wireless type: wlan0
b. For Wired type: eth0 and click on-> OK.
 
4. Refresh network list and find yours-> mark for Automatically connection to this network.
 
5. If you use wireless connection open "Properties" and type your network key if required.
