Haven't tried that, but I don't think that is the problem, or not the only
one. After I insert the card it is seen by hotplug and gets hooked, or
whatever it's called. However if you then run iwconfig to see what it's been
set up as then you see all the default parameters from the driver. So it
obviously isn't executing the commands in the mapping stanza that do things
like setting the essid.

I think this might be a question for the debian-user mailing list.
