One of the really nice things about running Ubuntu is that you can get information about the hardware from the command line. For example: sudo iwlist eth1 scan | grep ESSID lists up the names of any Wifi hotspots in close proximity. I will leave it as an exercise for the reader to think as to what could this be useful for.
