I found /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts

but when I tried to configure it it really hosed everything.
So the file does something, but I need help configuring it:

# Cisco/Aironet 4800/340
# Note : MPL driver only (airo/airo_cs), version 1.3 or later
*,*,*,02:52:85:*)
    INFO="Cisco/Aironet example (Cisco default settings)"
#     ESSID="any"
    ESSID="XXXXXXXXXXXX"
# To set all four ESSID, use iwconfig v21 and the same trick as above
    MODE="Managed"
#    RATE="11M auto"
    KEY="XXXXXXXXXX"
    ;;
