Mine does and doesn't require auto-wep that could trash the keys in the card. I like the NVRAM key holding feature of the Aironet card so I don't have to put my home/work keys in my /etc files. Also works across Windows. I store my work key in the standard keys and home key in the home key. You need 4.5-stable or -current. I put my laptop to sleep change location and resume then my laptop connects to the network. Here is my /etc/start_if.an0 where I think this functionality should be put since then you can add any arbitrary scheme. I also have stuff in my /etc/dhclient-{enter,exit}-hooks to do more network configuration automatically since I'm to lazy to do it myself. Note no keys are in this file since I don't have to have them there. I did sanitize the SSIDs even though it doesn't really matter.
