Deja vu!

Check into the latest pcmcia-cs tree
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcmcia-cs/

Check into Wireless tools:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html

With wireless tools, pay attention to "iwconfig" for configuring the
wireless interface with ESSID/key etc.

Hope this helps,
