Well, I guess that you need is just add your entry on
/etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces). Something like:

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
   wireless-essid YOUR_ESSID
   wireless-key YOUR_PASS


NOTES:
 * I assume wlan0 is your interface, but could be ath0, wifi0 or so.
 * If your pass is ASCII, then put 's:' just at the begining:

    wireless-key  2F502D00A1      (for hex)
    wireless-key  s:mypassword    (for passphrase or ASCII one)

See examples on: /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian from
'wireless-tools' package.

I hope this help.

Greetings

PS: BTW, this must be added on the '/etc/network/interfaces' file from
the sources. I mean, It must be written using the Terminal from  MIC
or writting directly inside of the 'fs' directory of your target.
