Re: Woody, Orinico, and Airport Base Station DHCP
Having just set up a similar system (Woody, Orinoco, RG-1000), I did
things a timy bit differently.

My /etc/network/interfaces doesn't have the 'auto eth0' or the wireless*
lines, but is othewise the same. I do have lines in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts that do the equivalent of the wireless* lines
you give. My only problems were operator error (I use string keys, and go
the case wrong).
The biggest difference I can see is that you may be doing the config too
early - if /etc/network/interfaces is processed before the wireless card
is initiaized, then I would expect problems. Your 'auto eth0' line makes
me suspicious, but I haven't had any reason to learn what it does,
exactly...
