Anyone know if it's possible to get AirPort to ignore certain networks? A few
of my neighbors have protected wireless networks, and sometimes my PowerBook
will default to one of those when I start up or wake up. I'd like to avoid
the confusion entirely, but I can't find a way to do it in the preferences.

Any ideas?

System Preferences -> Network -> Airport port -> Airport Tab ->
by default join: A specific Network

This should let you enter your network and your network password.

Now I just need to get my modem to stop shutting down its wireless broadcast
for no apparent reason.
