My crappy wifi-connection script currently looks like:

#!/bin/sh
killall connmand
killall dhcpcd
killall wpa_supplicant
dhcpcd wlan0

And my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (that is,
/P/WPA_Supplicant/Settings/wpa_supplicant.conf) looks like this:

update_config=1
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
   ssid="NAME OF MY NETWORK"
   psk="PASSWORD"
   priority=5
}
network={
   ssid="ANOTHER, OPEN NETWORK"
   key_mgmt=none
}

I don't load any modules by hand or run ip, ifconfig or iwconfig to
connect. Once that is configured, dhcpcd does everything.

Hope that helps!
