Generally you will simply leave the IP settings configured for DHCP. That way the network you are connecting to will automatically assign those values (IP, DNS, WINS) for you in accordance with what is necessary for each particular network.
On the NetGear card, if you have the SSID set to "ANY" it will simply locate any WiFi access points in its range and attempt to connect to them without you doing anything. I have an access point at work in my office and also at home. Obviously they both use different settings and have different names assigned. I simply walk in the house and it picks that one up, then I walk into the office and it picks that one up. No changes necessary at either location.
In some cases, certain wireless networks may have WEP enabled and require you to enter an access key to connect. If this is the case, you would have to enter that info into the NetGear config utility.
