use doesn't seem to work either, and I use wlan-ng instead of pcmcia cause 1)
It's not a pcmcia card. It's a built-in mini-PCI Prism2. and 2) because I
can't stand the orinoco drivers, and they don't work well for me.

I certainly wish that were the case, the SSID_wlan0 setting only tells the
system which wlancfg-XXXXXX file to use.
I can't figure out a way to determine SSID before starting the network. Heck
I'd be content with determining the MAC address of base-station before
bringing up the interface.
