How can I connect to a WPA2 Encrypted Network from the Terminal/Console?

I've wanted to remove the whole x-window system and use a Terminal based system only to free up any available memory and process list(s), but the only way to I have to connect to my ESSID network right now is via the Network Manager.

One other thing of note is that the wpa-supplicant is currently not working for my Zydas USB card.

You can use cli to networkmanager called cnetworkmanager or wicd which also has command line utility and gtk is just optional. I think wicd uses wpa_supplicant.
