[Nottingham] save iwconfig settings

[david wolfson]

Before christmas I made the mistake of thinking that the reason I 
couldn't get a network connection was to do with my network setting 
rather than our ISP glitching. As a result I foolishly tinkered and lost 
the working wi-fi setup for my laptop. A couple of hours yesterday, and 
I have it back (and understand it a lot better!). I have one problem 
though; each time I reboot I have to reset the wep key with iwconfig. 
The key appears to be saved in all the usual places (ifcfg-wlan0), and 
iwconfig rememebers the ESSID ok (the access point doesn't broadcast).  
I've googled on things like 'iwconfig save' but nothing I've come across 
seems to have worked.

Any idea on a fix for this please? I can always work around with another 
script, but didn;t need to before...

Cheers,

Dave
