I had to do something similiar. However iwconfig simply won't work
properly for some reason, I asked around a while ago:

Anyway, I figured a working but dodgy way to get it working.
Firstly you have to setup the wireless connection at the usual GUI
configuration. Make sure this works.
Then I have a script that runs:
dbus-send --type=method_call --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:${IAP} uint32:0
where $IAP is the identifier (name) of the wireless connection you've
setup in the GUI config.
Good way!
What's even worse is, I have to run that command line every 5
seconds or so (I put it in the script in a while loop to run that and
then sleep 5), as the connection daemon seems to disconnect
automatically. I think it disconnects if there's no application using
the N770 framework/lib to make network connections. So if I have some
custom software that uses the network it won't help either.
Did you specify an option in the connection manager do not break WLAN connection never? Maybe it may help to resolve this problem.
