Automatically change profiles based on connected wireless network?

I would like it so that when I'm connected to SSID "Wireless Network A", my profile is automatically set to profile A, while if I'm connected to SSID "Wireless Network B", my profile is automatically set to profile B.  How can I set this up?

This is useful because I need static IP settings for one wireless network I connect to, but I want regular DHCP settings for other wireless networks.

Thanks

Re: Automatically change profiles based on connected wireless network?

Currently the conditions for WiFi networks are "in/out of range" and "signal strength higher/lower than x". We're going to add "connected to" as an additional WiFi condition in one of the next versions.

Until then you can just as well use the "Network Location (NLM)" condition and select the network name/profile Windows assigned to those different networks. Windows creates those profiles automatically based on the DHCP or gateway server in that network. Notice that this network location will be recognized for both WiFi and LAN connections.
