Sure, install `wireless-tools` and use the `iwconfig` command to bring 
up the interface.  All the module selection changes should be done by 
the configure part of dpkg so the correct modules get loaded as needed. 
 orinco, and two others on my pismo.  You'll need to know the key for 
your net as well and pass it as a parameter to `iwconfig`  --  read the 
man page.

It shouldn't be too hard.
