When I ran FreeBSD - this is how I setup my lappy.

As far as I know, the version of ifconfig used by Linux does not
understand wireless extensions. So you would need to use iwconfig
instead. You also have to specify the correct interface name for
iwconfig. Something like:

iwconfig eth0 essid Skippy mode managed key 01122334455667788aabbccddee

or

iwconfig wlan0 essid Skippy mode managed key restricted
01122334455667788aabbccddee

I just turned on my laptop that is working with WiFi and ifconfig shows an entry it calls wifi0.00 and it has the latest data on the connection. This is on F7.
