I'd like to be able to have an icon for bringing up the wireless network and then enabling dropbear so that I can ssh in without connecting to a wired network.

The following works on an iLiad with software 2.11:
wireless.sh start <ssid>
where <ssid> is the name of your wireless connection
You can run it from mrxvt or in a script.
If i'm not wrong using
wireless.sh test <ssid>
you can test if the iLiad can find the network you specify.
