You need it ticked, not unticked. :p

But that will make airport to ask me before, isnt it? I wanted something more automatic and transparent.

The reason it's not transparent for unprotected networks is for security.

I think it could cause a few security issues if your OS joined Wireless networks automatically like that, without you knowing which networks it joins.

But since my iPod Touch does this sometimes (and it gets on my nerves), maybe I?m wrong.
