this is my configuration in /etc/network/interfaces
iface home inet dhcp
        wireless-essid (ssid)
        wireless-key (wireless key)
        pre-up /opt/cisco/bin/bcard

I bring the interface up with ifup eth2=home. The same conf file works
with kernels 2.4.25, 2.4.27 and 2.6.6. I need to run bcard (a cisco
utility), otherwise even the other kernels don't work.

Log file messages follow.
