Syntax to manually configure in /etc/network/interfaces
iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="MySecretPassword pre-up ifconfig ra0 up auto ra0
Since I am only using WEP, modified to:
iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName" pre-up iwconfig ra0 key "MyKeyInHex" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed pre-up ifconfig ra0 up auto ra0
Now I have wireless connectivity which survives a reboot.
