I use iwconfig (included with wireless-tools (I think)), and dhclient
(used to use dhcpcd).

eg.

iwlist eth1 scan
...
<grok info>
...

iwconfig eth1 essid <essid_value>
iwconfig eth1 rate <rate_value>
'                    ' channel <channel_value>
etc...

dhclient eth1

or

dhcpcd eth1.

that should get you associated, although you might need to tweak some
settings to get your /etc/resolv.conf to update.

Also, need root-privelages to use a few of these tools, but sudo
should fix all that.
