"interface doesn't support scanning" sometimes means you're supposed to 'ifconfig wlan0 up' first :)
This works depending on modes set. On my orinoco gold: -ad-hoc: finds itself -managed: nothing found -monitor: "doesn't support scanning" -master: SET failed on device eth1
Connect to accesspoint, assuming no encryption or WEP
iwconfig wlan0 key s3cr3tkey
or
iwconfig wlan0 key off
iwconfig wlan0 essid SomeEssid
If connected:
dhcpcd wlan0
