If you are running a Linux laptop that uses NetworkManager, you
can get a list of every wireless network that NetworkManager
knows about by doing
gconftool-2 --all-dirs
/system/networking/wireless/networks
If you want to delete one, do
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset
/system/networking/wireless/networks/BADNETWORKNAME
I find this useful when I'm in a venue, such as a tech
conference, where there is both a free conference wireless
network, and a paid wireless network run by the convention
center. If you ever accidentally associate with the paid network,
then whenever the signal strength of the paid network is higher,
NetworkManager will prefer it to the free one. The fix is to
delete the paid network data from the gconf database.
