You might be able to do this with Wireless Assistant (wlassistant) or KWifiManager, but I don't think they support WPA. If you're using one of the Ralink chipsets, you might also be able to do that with RutilT (http://cbbk.free.fr/bonrom/). -- Please avoid sending me Microsoft Office files - see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html.
