First disable the network manager. Then use Joe's solution:
# iwconfig ath0 essid my-network
# dhclient ath0

or use wifi-radar. Once you have created a network in wifi-radar press the connect button. It should connect to your network. If you are too lazy to do this everytime you boot up then add wifi-radar -d to your startup script.

I'd like to add a couple of notes. To disable Network Manager, you need to run the following commands (taken from the Ubuntu wiki):

sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher stop
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop
sudo echo "exit" > /etc/default/NetworkManager
sudo echo "exit" > /etc/default/NetworkManagerDispatcher

Second of all, if you want to use my previous solution, using ath0 as the network device will only work if your wireless device is really ath0! I recommend first running iwconfig with no parameters to figure out the name of your wireless device.
