Look at the file
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts

There you can make different "schemes". The file itself is quite well
commented, so it should be no problem to figure it out yourself, which
values to set.
If you have your different schemes, you may change between them with
cardctl scheme <scheme-name>
The current scheme will be displayed by
cardctl scheme

I hope this helps
