I mentioned here once, that I use a simple script for connecting
to our local wireless network.

-------------------------------------------------

$ cat .wifi
# wpa_supplicant initialisation script

echo "Connecting to the wireless network, please wait..."

# Start wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

# Provide Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
dhcpcd wlan0

--------------------------------------------------

wpa_supplicant.conf is very simple:
----------------------------------------
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
            network={
                    ssid="yourssid"
                    psk="yourpsk"
}
----------------------------------------

dhcpcd is a daemon itself, hence the name
(DHCP client daemon).
I saw your message about NetworkManager that modifies

resolv.conf, dhcpcd does it by default, unless you put
"nohook resolv.conf" to /etc/dhcpcd.conf.
