Yup, we should just include wireless-tools and wpasupplicant,
otherwise depending on the network type it's quite a pain to
configure.
Just tested with my 3com wifi dongle after recompiling the kernel with
CONFIG_ZD1211RW=m (also included at Robert Nelson's config file), and
was able to easily configure my network with wpasupplicant.
My config (WPA2):
root@linaro-developer:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo usb0 eth0 wlan0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface usb0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid domonet
# hexadecimal psk is encoded from a plaintext passphrase
(generated with wpa_passphrase)
wpa-psk 3eb95c07d2bcb79599318b239cbf5aefb741ecb66d46d31d95770d926f7e2ad6
