I'm asking that too, can it be done in /etc/network/interfaces?

You can do it with wpa-supplicant.  The way to use it is described on
Debian in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz.  The Om
networking setup seems strongly influenced by Debian, so that same
config might be usable there, although IIRC the Om2008.9 install seems
to lack some of the necessary scripts (at least /sbin/wpa_action), tho
you might be able to simply copy them from a Debian install.

'man wpa_action' gives a hint as well:

   An example wpa_supplicant.conf configured to roam between 3
different networks:

  network={
   ssid=foo
   id_str=uni
   key_mgmt=NONE
  }

  network={
   ssid=bar
   id_str=home_static
   psk=123456789...
  }

  network={
   ssid=
   key_mgmt=NONE
  }

   The  corresponding interfaces file would contain LOGICAL interfaces,
that correlate to each unique ’id_str’ provided by the configuration
file:

  iface eth1 inet manual
   wpa-driver wext
   wpa-roam /path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf

  iface default inet dhcp

  iface uni inet dhcp

  iface home_static inet static
  address 192.168.0.20
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.0.0
  broadcast 192.168.0.255
  gateway 192.168.0.1
