As suggested before, 'man interfaces' :)
However, add a script to your wlan0 interface in /etc/network/interfaces :
F.ex.:
iface wlan0 intet dhcp
pre-up /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/config-wlan0
then make the script accordingly :
#### config-wlan0
#!/bin/bash
iwconfig wlan0 essid
iwconfig wlan0 channel
iwconfig wlan0 mode
### ..etc
Make the file executeable ('chmod 744 config-wlan0')
bring the interface up by doing 'ifup wlan0'
btw. this is probably not the right list for such things. Instead, I suggest using the debian-user mail list.
