There ARE command line utilities, however by far the simplest solution 
is to download and install WLANMON (I recommend v 2.12) to let it change 
these settings for you and start the wireless radio.

Several of us have had issues with v 1.7 of the Genmac driver and have 
gone back to v 1.6.

I wrote a complete step by step install instruction list on this and the 
Genmac mailing list for this Intel 2200BG card a little while ago - I 
send it directly to your e-mail address rather than "clog up" the list here.

Cheers/2
