Lightbulb discover and connect to wireless in command line

in the gui version of ubuntu, networks are found automatically and presented in a list.

in ubuntu server, i guess i could search for random ip's using nmap or something, but what if i dont know the range to search? in short, how do i get connected to one of these wireless networks if i dont even know which ip's they are? i -really- want to figure this out, but i am days behind schedule. i have a week to learn everything there is to know about running a linux server. ha. ha. ha.

my wireless adapter is recognized and i think it works, but i would sure like to 'test it.'

my platform is in my sig.
