	You make settings for this in your /etc/wlan/wlancfg-<ssid> file.
Check out the default /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT file for how to set
this up.  Replace <ssid> with the ssid of your wireless lan.

	This -assumes- for the moment (yes, I know, it's a BAD thing to assume..) 
that you have already built and installed the wlan-ng wireless tools OR found 
them in an RPM form and installed a prebuilt package.
