Adam,

First disable momentarily any security on the Access Point/Router just
to test the connectivity. The on the computer try first as root:

iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
echo  $?
#the reply should be 0 once this is done, try

iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_Access_Point_SSID
echo $?
#again this should be 0 && that means that It associated you to your
AP or router

#Once you get associated & able to browse the net. You can reenable
security on your router/Access Point & trying to reconnect using
Network Manager
