Your /etc/network/interfaces should look something like:

wireless-key XXXXXXXXXX
wireless-essid my-network
Thanks a lot. I just got a chance to test this.
Unfortunately, it doesn't "work". In other words:
1) I put the above in my /etc/network/interfaces
2) I commented out any lines with eth0 for good measure
3) but when I boot up and ping, I get:
ping -c 5 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
did you include
auto wlan0
?
Then, as per my original message, when I:
su
iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx essid my-network
dhclient wlan0
... it works.
Also, make sure that ndiswrapper gets loaded before /etc/init.d/networking
Maybe this is the problem. How do I make sure ndiswrapper is loaded
before networking? ... I'm clueless about how to control start-up
scripts.
ls /etc/rc?.d where ? is the runlevel you're interested in. each symlink
has a S or K and a number in the front of the name. such as
S35networking
or
K90sysklogd
the S means Start, K means Kill. the number is what order to execute in.
1 comes first ;).
