here's my final Network Options

NetworkInterfacesOnBoot=(
   lo
)
#
# localhost
#
lo_IP=127.0.0.1
lo_Netmask=255.0.0.0

#
# wlan0
#
wlan0_IP=192.168.1.3
wlan0_Netmask=255.255.255.0
wlan0_Broadcast=192.168.1.255

function wlan0_PreUp() {
    echo "Enabling wlan0, please wait..."
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    iwconfig wlan0 essid "*******"
    iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
    iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
    iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
    iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK="*******"
}

Gateway=192.168.1.1
GatewayInterface=wlan0
