Indeed it is possible to configure the network from the console. The 
file you want to modify is /etc/network/interfaces. The interfaces man 
pages should give you the syntax for the file. To configure wireless 
options, you will want to look at the wireless man page to get the 
appropriate lines for /etc/network/interfaces.

Hope this helps.
