using the 2 keys next to cursor-keys
xev # select the window that gets created and hit the keys after each other to get their keycodes. here 234 and 233
xmodmap -pk # shows current mappings
xmodmap -e 'keycode 233 = THORN'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 234 = Oslash'
# those commands now maps keysyms to our keys, use keysyms you do not usually
WPrefs # this is the utilits windowmaker uses to assign actions. Go to 'change keyboard shortcuts', select your action
# (for me its switch to next/previous workspace), then 'capture' and hit the key. save, and the keys have their
# new assignment.
# execute the 2 assignment-xmodmap-calls in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession, or read on .xmodmaprc in 'man xmodmap'

a word on wlan-driver
I have an atheros-chip for wlan. The old madwifi-driver works in hostap-mode (so providing an access point). The newer ath5k driver does station/managed and monitor mode, but for now hostap-mode is restricted to open networks as it seems as of 2008-11-14 . See http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122665779201442&w=2
setup wlan-card as accesspoint with wpa/wpa2
# install madwifi-driver and load it (modprobe ath_pci)
