And the best solution I have found is not to even touch pccard.conf, leave
it as is and create /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks with:

# Initialize the WaveLAN card with the proper parameters
if [ "$interface" = "wi0" -a "$reason" = "PREINIT" ]
then
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -P 1
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -S 200
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -p 1
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -n ''
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -s monkeyboy.gshapiro.net
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -e 1
	/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $interface -k 0xDEADBEEF
fi
exit 0

That way, you don't screw up any system files but still get things done
properly (assuming you are using DHCP).

(and no, 0xDEADBEEF is not my WEP key)
