In fact you can do this via /etc/network/interfaces. For each iwconfig
parameter you put a paramter with 'wireless_' in front. For example
you could add a like 

iface eth0 inet dhcp
   wireless_essid "essId"

and so on. Just 'man iwconfig' to see what you can set with iwconfig,
and then put it in /etc/network/interfaces.
