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.
