Hi,

yes, you should add the information to the '/etc/network/interfaces' 
file under Debian. Here is an example how to connect to an access point 
with ESSID 'Home' without WEP and using DHCP to obtain your IP information :

---
auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp
     wireless_essid Home
     wireless_mode Managed
---

You can obtain more information about this file format from the 
following URL :
