RTFM.
eg. for WaveLAN/IEEE, "man wvlan_cs". See /etc/pcmcia/wireless* for how
to configure these options. Basically you need to define "KEY" in the
wireless.opts section for your card. KEY="s:abc12" (for a 40-bit key).
You may need to add extra module load options in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
It all worked out of the box for me, but I have since changed to a
"Managed" configuration.
