First you have to scan for the accesspoint with: "iwlist scan"
Then you have to set the data, this may differ. If you use for example a 
128-Bit WEP with a string password you have to type:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 essid "[Name of the Connection]" ap [MAC Address of the 
Access point]  key s:[Key]
And then to get an IP Address:
sudo dhclient wlan0

maybe you have to use another device name then wlan0, like ath0 or
something like that

Before you can connect like that you have to kill the Network Manger, because 
else it will overwrite your connection data:
sudo killall NetworkManager

for more information on ifconfig and iwlist read the manpages: just type
man ifconfig or man iwlist in the console.
