Dan, I don't do either any more. I use the /etc/start_if.wi0 file to set my key and enable it. I find this a bit cleaner than the pccard.conf route (which I used before start_if was added). But they are functionally identical. I don't like putting it in the client_hooks as I don't really believe that this is a function related to DHCP. R.
