By pressing ALT, it will revel a lot more information that the signal level, pretty much the same thing you get with #airport -I. There are lots of stuff like that hidden away in OSX. The principle as I see it is that most people don't need to know that, so they hide it, but for power user, it's usually as easy as holding down a key (usually ALT) before clicking on a lot of things to revel more advanced option. I guess, it would be nice to have an advanced options on/off switch somewhere in the system preferences for people who want to see all the available options. There you go!

I’d been having trouble with my Mac mini computer automatically joining random wireless networks rather than the *one* network I’d ever want it to join … and this is despite using Network Preferences to configure Airport to join only preferred networks by default; to ask before joining an open network; and to require an admin password to change wireless networks.
