This is a general network configuration question, not a hotplug
question, and is beyond the scope of this forum.  Perhaps your Linux
distribution provides tools for managing network profiles.

This is also not a hotplug problem; the appropriate driver got loaded
(i.e. hotplug did its job).  Your problem is specific to this wireless
driver and you'll have to either report the problem to SMC since
that's where you got the driver, or try to find someone on a wireless
forum who knows more about this driver.

/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts won't get used for Cardbus cards since they
are managed by the hotplug scripts.  Some distributions' network setup
tools are wireless-networking-aware and would allow you to set these
sorts of parameters so that when hotplug does "ifup eth0" the right
stuff gets done.

I suggest that you take your questions to a wireless networking list.
