I found the lan config didn\'t work, but I was able to make a workaround.
Edit the /etc/pcmcia/hermes file according to this:
< export WIRELESS_USE=$0
---
> export WIRELESS_USE=
Now the link is started properly. If the WIRELESS_USE is set then the later scripts look for a nonexistent config file to find the ESSID and KEY parameters.
Also note that to use authenticated networks with WEP you have to set shared key mode. To do this edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts and add restricted in front of the key eg.
KEY=\"restricted 733647795839439857632857845785\"
