Hidden Network Information in Leopart AirPort Menu

Little things keep cropping up in Leopard that extend the functionality of the operating system beyond it’s candy-coated shell. Glenn Fleishman uncovered a really neat bit of information that Leopard initially hides from you about nearby AirPort networks, including the RSSI and security type of the network you’re connecting to. And, there’s a neat tooltip to boot:

“Leopard includes more information than meets the eye about nearby Wi-Fi networks. Mac OS X 10.5 updates the AirPort menu in the system menu bar after you select a network, which is a neat feature and provides more accurate results. It also shows a lock icon next to networks protected by some form of encryption. But you can extract even more information by holding down the Option key while dropping the menu.”
