If you are using the Genmac command line utilities anyway, you don't need
to call xwlan.  i.e. if you are already using the ssid utility instead of
xwlan for that part, you could just as well also use ssid to set the wep
before you set the ssid, and then link to connect and then do the dhcpstrt
(or manually assiged static ip/route) once the link command returns
connected.... etc.  don't forget to flush the route & arp cache.  In my
case I also toggle socks on/off, but that is probably pretty unique to how
I have to run.  Also, for some reason, xwlan won't save my full wep key.

IMHO, xwlan is a wrapper that does that, but if you like the command line
utilities, that is just as easy to have a couple custom rexx execs to do
the 'busy work' each time.
