I have this exact same setu pat home, although I have a Orinoco Gold
Card. Here's my setup, direct from /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts 

*,*,*,00:60:1D:*)
   INFO="Home Access Point"
   MODE="Managed"
   RATE="Auto"
   ESSID="house"
   KEY=""
   ;;

Obviously I've set my access point network ID (on the "Wireless" admin
page) to "house" and encryption off.

(Now, some of you might be freaking about this lax security, but let me
tell you - if you can pick up my AP, I can see you from my house. And
since my nearest neighbor is about an acre away, I'm not worried about
them stealing my DSL *grin*. And anyway, WEP is a joke, if you don't use
ssh and ssl, you need to start *NOW*.
