Well, I got it working finally after reading upon some useful info.
Just in case this would help someone...
Considering that your card is recognized and module loaded, then type
in terminal:

iwconfig wlan0 ESSID your network name
iwconfig wlan0 key s:your password
dhcpcd wlan0

That should do it if you use dhcp. Of course replace wlan0 with name
of your card if needed.
