And this!  http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=357

I think it only takes a few lines of configuration to get it to work.  
Something like this:

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.32.18
iwconfig wlan0 essid CRIB
iwconfig wlan0 channel 10
iwconfig wlan0 mode Master
iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890 (That's a "64-bit" WEP key.  It was the 
easiest to use for testing.)
