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.
