Here's the routine I follow on my own laptop, it isn't pretty, but it works, my wireless interface is wlan0:
iwlist wlan0 scan # to ensure that it can see the AP
iwconfig wlan0 essid "myssid" # set interface to SSID
ifconfig wlan0 up # activate interface
dhclient wlan0 # get dhcp info from AP
That usually does it for me.
