Change location automatically based on network
I've been doing something like this for a long time without using a broadcast SSID.
try:
I also test for "AirPort is currently turned off" | "wireless network not available" and then check the ethernet LAN IP as a fallback
to put the icing on all this, I run it in a script on wake up, setting location to automatic if it fails to determine where I am, and back off with an exponential delay before repeating.

How do you run a script on wake up? I have been looking for that trick!

You need SleepWatcher from http://www.bernhard-baehr.de/, it lets you run scripts on sleep and wake events.

The other option is to simply list each of the SSID's at your work in this script and if it auto-connects to the wrong one, have the script set your Location to "Work" (or "Home" as the case may be) and the Location will then change you over to the correct SSID. |
