I don't set up as an expert,
but I would have thought you needed to set the ESSID
(to that of the target machine).
Personally, I set it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
# Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:15:00:16:2a:ea
IPADDR=192.168.2.4
ESSID=dd-wrt
KEY=<...>
But you could set it with iwconfig, something like
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <whatever>
