That's nice. We are happy for him. :)

If you only ever want to connect to one network a single stanza in the
interfaces file in /etc/network/ is all you need. Here, you can have
mine
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "MI5 Listening Post #652"
wpa-psk "Aj560BnlaoiuFgqQ94Fv7JUEXZ74SaMzp28LQw10Ditt9372"
If you are connecting to different networks you should be looking at the
manual method for ifupdown. Like this:
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf
Create /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf. Have stanzas similar to:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="Serendipity"
psk="GCF784x0dhuTJmiP0j8JlHvhs4gm0Q8LsakiopphOrZAPFLLMBidUFaq7B9X3"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
auth_alg=OPEN
}
You may want to evaluate the wpagui package.
