From there you can follow the normal procedure for setting the ip address etc.
BTW, if you want to run airsnort you need to set the card to monitor:
-iwconfig eth1 mode monitor

iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
Then startup airsnort, change the driver to 'other' and hit start.

-Setting up the interfaces:
+!!!
Setting up the interfaces:
When you run ifconfig, you might not see your wireless device. Use the command 'iwconfig' to show the wireless devices that are connected and set to use. First things first. You need to set an IP for this device. If you do not set one before setting the wireless options, you will not get a link.
-ifconfig <device> <IP address>
+
ifconfig ''
<device>'' ''
<IP address>''
Now to set it to link up with the wireless access point. once again we'll use iwconfig to set the ESSID, which needs to match the SSID of your AP or Router to link to.
-iwconfig eth1 essid MYWIRELESS
+
iwconfig eth1 essid ''
MYWIRELESS''
Generally this should link you to the wireless AP. If it doesn't, you might try to set the wireless device a bit more. Some devices will not take some of these options.

I'm having problems getting my netgear wg511 to work. I compiled the
drivers from ISL3890 fine and changed /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to contain
PCIC=i82365 & PCMCIA=yes. However, when I modprobe islpci_cb I get
the errors
Try changing your PCIC=i82365 line to "PCIC=yenta_socket"
