All the below has to be done in a terminal (ALT+F2 -> "xterm")
$ su -
#<root password>
$ ifconfig wlan0 down; # or whatever its called ethX in general
$ killall dhclient nm-applet wpa_supplicant;
$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf # your wpa_supplicant.conf should be similar
# File: wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root
network={
ssid="myssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="mypresharedkey"
}
$ ifconfig wlan0 up;
$ wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
$ iwlist wlan0 scan
# should output your wireless network
$ ifconfig eth0 up;
$ dhclient eth0;
$ ifconfig -a;
# should list wlan0 with IP address;
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:ab:cd:ef:12:34
