The title pretty much says it.

What would be the commands I'd use to connect to a Wireless access point, enter the password and delete the wireless name I am connected to through terminal.

I do know that the command nm-tool lists all wifi connection ports even my IP address field, just want to take it a step further...

Howdy,

Read up on these commands and use them in this order:
iwlist
iwconfig
ifconfig
dhclient

Cheers,

H.

And there you get introduced to Linux documentation.

You might take a look at my page at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/wireless.html which goes through setting it up via command line.
