Here's a version of what's in my /etc/network/interfaces. You can
basically put anything after "up" -- see man interfaces(5).

iface eth1 inet static
        address 10.0.0.21
        netmask 255.0.0.0
        gateway 10.0.0.1
        up iwconfig eth1 essid BlahBlahBlah
        up iwconfig eth1 enc yadayada
        up iwconfig eth1 nick loki
