You should be able to define what network your pcmcia card connects to in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, however some cards firmeware ignores this. Listed below are some commands that will allow you to change network association.

BR BR Connect to a standard InfastructureMode access point:

iwconfig mode managed essid network_to_associate_with

If you want to connect to a WEP network, you will have to enter the key (key length and data are dependant on the network): {{{iwconfig mode managed essid network_to_associate_with key key 1122334455 }}}

To connect to an Ad-Hoc network:

iwconfig mode ad-hoc essid network_to_associate_with
