Normally you can store several keys in the card's nonvolatile
RAM.  My Aironet 352 holds five keys, for example.

Whether or not this is the case with your card, you can use
ifscout in the ifupdown-roam package to find the right 
wireless and network settings automatically.  Read especially
the README file at:
