I have a near identical setup, what you need to do is break the iwconfig
commands up into multiple steps. I also have to rmmod and insmod the
ipw2100 module when switching between WEB and t-mobile. Basically what
to make life easy I just wrote a bunch of short scripts to use sudo and
manually config the correct network. Linux sucks when it comes to
wireless auto config.
Here's my ifup-home script
-------------
# reset networking....
sudo ifconfig eth0 down > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo ifconfig eth1 down > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid any > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo modprobe -r e1000
sudo modprobe -r ipw2100
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211_crypt_wep
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211_crypt
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211
# load network modules
sudo modprobe e1000
sudo modprobe ipw2100
# config home network
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid home-net
sudo iwconfig eth1 key ****************************
sudo ifup eth1
