man iwconfig. You should start with "iwlist scan" to be sure your ap is seem, then iwconfig after that.
I was looking at this the other day, wondering if it was worth adding wpa software to my older installation, given that I use the wireless only as an untrusted connection and then set up a vpn to my firewall before any real data goes over the connection.
