Debian uses the great little ifup/down scripts for handling network interfaces. Take a look at /etc/network/interfaces and check "man interfaces" and "man iwconfig". You can pass iwconfig options to the ifup/down scripts including WEP keys, etc. If you set the "auto" flag for that particular device, it should automatically start up, configure itself, and connect at bootup. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
