You can define "schemes" in your /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts
I've here two schemes.

---[snip]---
work,*,*,*)
	 ESSID="p188a1"
	 KEY="dead-beef-0815-4711"
	 ;;
clublan,*,*,*)
	 ESSID="aether"
	 KEY="s:secretphrase"
	 ;;
*,*,*,*)
	 ESSID="any"
	 ;;
	 
---[snip]---

So you can switch as root (or sudo) the eviroments with:

cardctl scheme work       or
cardctl scheme clublan
