Creating a wireless connection

Ok... if I know ssid default gateway etc... is there a command I can use to set these and create a wireless network to an accsess point?

sorry about the stupid and vauge question...

ok...
im trying to set up a connection from my wireless car to my accsess point. I used

Code:

---

iwconfig ap (mac address of accsess point)

---

ah

Code:

---

IWCONFIG

---

shows some info...
IEE002.11b ESSID '(accsess pont name)'
it shows it mac address and link quality as 100/100 also a signal level

so I thought this would mean there was a connection? but no... maybe there is a connection to the accsess point and not the internet?

Any help would be great.

Never mind I got it...

Looked around the manual

when I used the pump command nothing worked

I used pump -i wlan0
and hey presto internet!

Its amazing what we sometimes overlook in a manual :)
