Use a null-modem cable to connect to the Soekris. You will need some
kind of terminal program (HyperTerm). You should be able to assign the
interfaces (LAN would be wireless card - WAN would be ethernet sis0).
But, then how can you connect to the new LAN (wireless)? What would be
the default settings for a wireless client? 

Sorry, I don't have these answers as I don't use wireless on my
m0n0wall.
