Depends on what flavour of UNIX you're talking about. There's information out there for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris, and that's only what a 5 minute search showed me.

Then please refer to the Solaris Wireless FAQ, where most steps are explained pretty completely, including supported drivers and setting up encryption with WPA (some reading may be required)
