If you see the device from /sbin/iwconfig

/sbin/iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      unassociated  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Channel=0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

For example I just have a little script in my users $HOME

$ cat wireless.sh
#!/bin/bash
/bin/su -c "/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid YOURACCESSPOINT key YOURKEY &&
/sbin/dhclient eth1 && /sbin/ifconfig eth1"

just chmod +x and sh wireless.sh as your user and should be up.
