I have multiple wireless networks where I live, none of which broadcast their SSID.

If they *do* broadcast their SSID, they show up in the airport status bar icon's drop-down menu, and I can easliy switch between networks and remember/save authentication information.

Because they are not broadcasting, however, none of the networks except the one I'm currently connected to show up. If I want to switch networks, I have to select "other" from the list, type in the SSID, then type in the authentication information.

Is there any way to have the non-broadcast networks show up on the drop-down menu so I can easily switch between them? This is really frustrating, especially when trying to debug/troubleshoot across different wireless networks...
