Yes, that is true. Therefore if you create a bash script with those
commands it would look like the following (I understand that you do
not use encryption, so I omitted the "key" setting)


    #!/bin/bash
    iwconfig wlan0 essid beam26wireless
    dhcpcd wlan0

Now, all I do is to run this script as root every time I need to use
my wireless connection. I do not need to automatically run this script
at boot time because I do not use the wireless connection that often.
I know some people in this list will consider this "solution" a little
bit clunky, but hey, it works for me, and I am really not an expert
when it comes to configuring stuff like this. I am just a user too.
