I highly recommend against configuring the wireless through 
the /etc/networking stuffs. The reason is that your wireless config 
will change depending on your location and if you happen to not be at 
home, you're going to make your boot time 120 seconds longer than it 
needs to be.

Instead, use the KWiFi stuffs and set up all the parameters in the 
control center. You can use the systray applet to make it easy to 
interact with.
