Assuming that discover/hotplug automatically loads the necessary modules
for your wlan card, you probably don't need to do much other than
adding an entry in /etc/network/interfaces similar to this:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
After doing that, issue an 'ifup wlan0'.
Maybe I overlooked something, but try it out.
