What about the classics:
1. Turn the interface on with the following command:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
2. Scan for a list of all the available access points:
iwlist wlan0 scanning
3. Select the access point with the following command:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid ACCESSPOINT
4. Set WEP or WPA passphrase, if needed:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key PASSPHRASE
5. Finally, connect to DHCP server and obtain an IP address:
sudo dhclient
