If the network is working with DHCP, than you basically need something like 
the following rexxfile:

/* turn on the radio */
/* This command activates the 802.11b interface 
     original batch file by Neil Waldhauer
     The wireless NIC should be inserted in the PC Card slot  */ 

say "Activating the wireless network card" 
' ifconfig lan0 down' 
' ifconfig lan0 delete' 
'dhcpmon -t' 
'route -fh' 
'arp -f' 
'dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 10' 
say "Wireless networking enabled"
