Setting up a fixed wireless settings as similar as using iwconfig command on logging into the box. In /etc/network/intefaces set the following setting
iface wlan0 inet static
essid 2WIRE578
wireless_key 1234567890
address 10.0.1.2
netmask 255.255.0.0
broadcast 10.0.255.255
Assuming the "2WIRE578" is your wireless router name and key is "1234567890".
Special note for those using Ebox Platform (
ebox-platform.com ). Ebox uses loading scripts of post and pre in its /etc/ebox/hooks.
You can refer to the link and details below:

Starting with eBox 1.1 Alpha, it is possible to set hooks that can be run at several different moments while changes to a module are being saved. Using this feature it is possible to configure a wireless card in an eBox friendly way.
The eBox Network Module provides a helper script called "ebox-setup-wireless" to help us with this task.
If we have an interface called wlan0 that we want to configure, we just need to write a file called /etc/ebox/hooks/network.postsetconf with the following script:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
# set WLAN_IFACE to the name of your interface
export WLAN_IFACE=wlan0
# set WLAN_IFACE to the ESSID of your network
export WLAN_ESSID=mindstorm
# set WLAN_CONF to contain any extra configuration needed in /etc/network/interfaces for your
# interface, for example, uncomment this line if you want to set up
# export WLAN_CONF="wireless-mode master"
# execute the helper script
/usr/share/ebox-network/ebox-setup-wireless
# if you need to setup several wireless cards just set the variables and run the script again
# we need to tell ebox we have updated the interfaces file so we are not asked in the interface
# every time we save
/usr/share/ebox/ebox-update-file-digest network /etc/network/interfaces
exit 0
