Why not use Network Manager or Wicd?  Both are in the (X)Ubuntu repos
and include applets in GMOME/Xfce/KDE to make scanning and connecting to
wifi APs a one click affair.

In fact, Network Manager is supposed to be installed by default in Xubuntu.

(As I use Slackware, I'm well acquainted with CLI (terminal) utlities,
but that does not mean I have to use them for *every* task.)
