you did say what tools you were using for the configuration.

Here's the routine I follow on my own laptop, it isn't pretty, but it works,
my wireless interface is wlan0:

iwlist wlan0 scan    # to ensure that it can see the AP
iwconfig wlan0 essid "myssid"    # set interface to SSID
ifconfig wlan0 up    # activate interface
dhclient wlan0    # get dhcp info from AP

That usually does it for me.
