here is what i do:

fire up urxvt:
# iwlist wlan0 scan
# iwconfig wlan0 essid NameOfWirelessNetwork key foobar123 #ap {MAC
address} (optional)
# iwconfig       #just to see if it worked.
# dhcpcd -d wlan0          #-d flag stands for debug, but its really
analogous to --verbose
# firefox &       #if all goes well.


hope that helps.
