You need:
1. Install pcmcia-cs
2. Edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts
Add a new stanza in there at the top that sets your ESSID (and
WEP key)
I have:
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*)
ESSID="MyESSid"
MODE="Ad-Hoc"
CHANNEL=10
KEY="0123456789abc0123456789abc"
;;
...
(Obviously I've changed the data here)
3. Put the card in the slot and see what happens...
