Default WiFi woes

I'm moving over slowly from my iPAQ to my new wizard (Vario), which on the whole I'm quite happy with, except for the wifi manager.

Is there a way to get it to just run a scan, so you can see all available SSID's and chanels? I was at a motorway services today, my ipaq picked up 3 diffrent wifi SSID's on diffrent chanels. But my Vario only picked up the T-Mobile SSID, and locked onto that.

I like having the wifi, but not if its only going to let me access T-Mobile hotspots.
Still a noob, so be gental...

HTC Wizard: MDA Vario (UK)
ROM ver: 1.6.2.4 WWE (15/11/05)
ExtROM ver: 1.6.2.105
Radio ver: 01.12.10
Protocol ver: 4.0.13.23
OS: 5.1.70 (build 14409.1.1.2)

That seems to give me a list of the available network cards, Not available hotspots (SSID's)

It depends of what do You have...
Cab file must be copied to Phone and tap on it,
Exe file has to be installed from Activesync.
