I use a script to configure my wireless pccard. A simplified version
(without start, stop, etc) of a WEP, DHCP connection follows:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wi0 ssid ssidname nwkey 0x9999999999
dhclient wi0
Basically, you need to add the ssid information to your ifconfig line
and execute dhclient after the interface has been configured with the
WEP key.
Good luck,
