For example, if you use wicd, the configurations will likely be in
/var/lib/wicd/configurations/<MAC> and look something like:

ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
       ssid="JHotel"
       scan_ssid=1
       proto=WPA RSN
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=CCMP TKIP
       group=CCMP TKIP
       psk=<a long string of hex>
}

Cheers,
David.
