none of the gui's ever got me a connection.
it's working fine now after doing it manually
a 1000 times and finally wrapping that up in
a shell script today.

How it works manually depends on your setup.

If you're not using wep or wpa (like i dont),
its basicly a combination of the right
/etc/network/interfaces, ifup, ifdown (and
iwconfig to speed it up). ifup should call
udhcpc for you. iwlist is your friend, too.

if you are using wep or wpa, i guess you'd
need to write a wpa_supplicant.

All that is described here
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wireless_Networking

except for how to exactly set up
/etc/network/interfaces.
I figured that out by reading examples...

Indeed, it wasnt easy. For me.
