If you are running Woody you don't need to do anything other than
update /etc/interfaces/networks if your card can be configured with
iwconfig. Just put the iwconfig paramaters in /etc/network/interfaces
with the word "wireless_" in front of the parameter name (like
"iwconfig_essid" and so on). Other than that, everything is standard
/etc/network/interfaces syntax for setting IP as static/dhcp etc.
The pcmcia-cs package was revised many moons ago to do this for Debian
systems.
Cheers!
