I just load it within an rc.d script and iwi is compiled into my kernel, but I don't use WEP/WPA encryption.
I'd just add a function to /etc/rc which is the first thing /sbin/init executes or add a custom script to rc.d which executes before wpa_supplicant.
The only thing you'd have to remember is you have the script there performing mergemaster.
There are really so many possibilities.
