I haven't had much opportunity to use wireless stuff in Linux, so my knowledge is a bit sketchy... That said, I'm not sure if wpa_supplicant actually sets the SSID or just uses it to identify which section of configuration to use (I believe you can have encryption settings for more than one network?) The reason to use iwconfig is to tell the adapter which network it needs to associate with / which channel to use. I am not clear from your previous posts whether you managed to get it to work without encryption, but if you can see the networks with iwlist and can't dhcp (when there is a server) it sounds like your network adapter is not associated with the router/access point.
