The solution was to copy iwconfig to a safe place, remove wireless-tools and
then add iwconfig eth0 key s:key to the bottom of /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.

So god knows what their rpm of wireless-tools does, but compiling a newer srpm
of it didn't fix the probem either.  So the solution is a bit hacky but works,
which is the main thing.

Cheers,
Alex.
