Okay, I finally got it going. Not sure what I was doing wrong before,
but for those who are interested, here's how it works (with Dan Burcaw's
2.4.10-12a kernel):

I created the file /etc/syconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1, and this is
what's in it:

  NAME=mercury
  DEVICE=eth1
  BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Then, I wrote a little script that then gets it all going. Here it is:

#!/bin/sh

sudo /sbin/modprobe airport;
sudo /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid "my network" key "my key";
sudo /sbin/ifup eth1;

And that's it! I call this script, type in my password, and I'm off.
Those who aren't using sudo will have to change it to use su instead, or
simply run it as root. I hope this helps others! And thanks to Dan,
Steven, and William for the helpful pointers.

Regards,

David
