I can iwlist scan, and see the router I want. when I do iwconfig essid "my network" it shows up on iwconfig wlan0, but I'm not able to see where to put in the wpa key--I filled out my wpa config file, for wpa_supplicant but it doesn't seem to be connecting me to the router. It might also be worth noting that ifconfig wlan0 does not give an IP address. I hope I've provided enough info--I'm totally lost here. I've followed docs, and it seems to have not worked as well as I would have hoped.
