Hey Felipe,

your idea sounds reasonable. I have to check, whether there is a easy way to listen for a specific SSID in range or not. According to google, you can get a list of the SSIDs in range from the NetworkManager quite easily. But I'm not sure if you can listen for changes or have to check manually every x seconds. I'm going to check this and if it's easy and lightweight to realise, I'll add it :-)

Additionally, this could include hidden networks (that you have previously connected to, and are therefore on the Network Manager's list of connections). Simplest use: when you're in range of a known hidden network (and not already on a network?), connect to it.
