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
