coconutWiFi displays a small aqua-bubble in your menubar which indicates whether you're in range of a wireless network or not. The app also tells you if the wireless networks in your range are encrypted or open, so you won't miss the next open wireless network anymore.

On an almost clean install with 10.5 follwed by an update to 10.5.3, I got one error after the other. Reviewing all the apps and utilities I had installed (just a handful), I decided to do away with Coconut Wifi. End of errors! I hope to see this diamond back again though!

It's a pity that this application has had the same effect on my computers both times I have tried it. The first time was some years ago and even then it was a disaster on my computer.
I had hoped that all this was solved by now, but apparently not.

I restarted my machine but the menu bar icon no longer appeared.

I'm running OS 10.5.8 on an Intel core 2 duo MacBook Pro.
