That's easy enough, here's what I used to use:
xxxxx means the essid
yyyyy means the wep passphrase

modules=( "dhclient" )
modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )

essid_wlan0="xxxxx"
key_xxxxx="s:'yyyyyyyyy' enc open"
preferred_aps_wlan0=( "xxxxx" )
channel_wlan0="11"
config_xxxxx=( "dhcp" )

config_wlan0=("dhcp")
