WiFi Help through shell

So as a graduation gift (

) I was given a laptop... But not just a laptop a OLPC (laptop.org) and I'm trying to access my local LAN but because of security issues and compatibility issues I opted to drop the wpa and wep for a hidden SSID (I monitor it closely and change the SSID regularly).

So the built in network viewer doesn't see my LAN so I decided to do it through the shell but I haven't seen any good articles concerning this topic (probably because its a simple thing to do)

Although I probably didn't need to explain it I did anyways, sorry for wasting your time, but can you help?

bundle

BUNDLE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 BUNDLE(1)

NAME

       bundle - collect files for distribution

SYNOPSIS

       bundle file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Bundle  writes  on  its	standard output a shell script for rc(1) or a Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate the original files.
       Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1).

       Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1) or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete;  little  preparation	is
       required on the receiving machine.

EXAMPLES

       bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris
	      Send  a  makefile  to Boris together with related and files.  Upon receiving the mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say in
	      gift/horse, then do

       cd gift; rc horse; mk

SOURCE

       /rc/bin/bundle

SEE ALSO

       ar(1), tar(1), mail(1)

BUGS

       Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-text files.
       Beware of gift horses.
