if by nice you mean UI-wise...
if you're using gnome, there's something called "netapplet". It was written 
for suse, but i believe it was "ported" to other distros as well. It's quite 
cute..
KDE has a wireles monitor thing for setting up simple wireless profiles.

..otherwise,
There are a bunch of scripts "out there" which can be attached to 
initialisation services to enable the right wireless network (trying every 
avail config and stopping when an AP is detected)..

Cheers,

L
