Depends on what you want to do. One of the easiest ways is to put
different profiles in your dhclient.conf file:
Here's an (edited) excerpt from mine:
interface "ath0" {
media "nwid 'Columbia University' -nwkey media autoselect";
media "nwid WiFi nwkey secret mode 11b";
media "nwid co_presidents_club -nwkey media autoselect";
media "nwid hhonors -nwkey mode 11b";
media "nwid '' -nwkey mode 11b";
}
