I'll stick my $.02 in here.  I'm not sure what Mandrake does w/ their ifup
script, but if the pcmcia stuff sources /etc/pcmcia at all, you should
edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts for this configuration option.

If you have a /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts file, somewhere around line 44
you'll need to comment out two lines that look like:
*,*,*,*)
   ;;

Then find your particular card and farther down and uncomment and edit the
appropriate options (like ESSID, MODE, KEY, etc.).

Then let the ifup script handle the IP stuff.

Ciao,
