man 7 wireless
man 5 interfaces

Is how you configure it for when the interface goes up (or down). So
something like the following in /etc/network/interfaces. 

iface eth2 inet dhcp
        wireless-essid MY_ESSID
	wireless-mode Managed
	wireless-key MY_HEX_KEY

If you're using resolvconf, you'll also need entries like
dns-nameservers and dns-search.
