Anyway to do on-the-fly WiFi network/ESSID selection in Linux?

Not to bring up the dreaded "W" word, but under Windows
y'all know how you can have an ordered lists of preferred
networks (with connection details included), and the software
will try each in turn, if a network is available. And, also,
how it is continuously scanning for new ESSIDs, so that if you
roam, the preferred ESSID will be selected.
In Linux (I'm using Slackware 10), all I could tell from
rc.wireless.conf was that you can manually call rc.wireless [interface]
to connect to the given interface based on the conf settings, but
there's no constantly scanning behavior like under Windows.
Is this the case? Or is there software out there under Linux
to do such things?
