Mike,
The ESSID is the SSID of your home network, like maybe it is called
MikesPlace.
And it seems to me that you need to edit a wpa_supplicant file with the SSID
and router key, which is the pass key you use the first time you log into
your home network with a new computer.
I would like to be able to use the wpa_supplicant, with a command line
string of the log-in data.
I also discovered another tool that is already on your RPI called:
wpa_cli
This one seems to have command-line options, but I don't understand it.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] Wifi
Hello list,
I got a couple of wifi dongles through the post today in an effort to
reduce the amount of spaghetti that lays across my desk.
But I'm having a lot of trouble with getting the things to work.
The two Raspis are no more than a foot away from the access point here
because the hub is on the windows sill just to the right of my desk.
One thing I am confused about is whether the 'essid' argument to
iwconfig should be the name of my access point?
And I have yet to understand wpa_supplicant and how I can get my Raspis
to connect to my wifi AP automatically on boot.
Mike
