I think you want the essid option...

ap     Force the card to register to the  Access  Point  given by  the
        address, if it is possible. This address is the cell identity of
        the Access Point, as reported by wireless scanning, which may be
        different  from its network MAC address. If the wireless link is
        point to point, set the address of the other end of the link. If
        the link is ad-hoc, set the cell identity of the ad-hoc network.
        When the quality of the connection goes too low, the driver  may
        revert  back to automatic mode (the card selects the best Access
        Point in range).  You may also use off to re-enable automatic mode
        without changā€ing  the  current  Access  Point,  or you may use any or
        auto to force the card to reassociate with  the  currently  best
        Access Point.
               Example :
                    iwconfig eth0 ap 00:60:1D:01:23:45
                    iwconfig eth0 ap any
                    iwconfig eth0 ap off

essid  Set the ESSID (or Network Name - in some products it may also be
        called Domain ID). The ESSID is used to identify cells which are
        part of the same virtual network.As opposed to the AP Address or
        NWID which define a single cell, the  ESSID  defines  a group of
        cells connected via repeaters or infrastructure, where the user
        may roam transparently. With some cards, you  may  disable  the
        ESSID  checking (ESSID promiscuous) with off or any (and on to
        reenable it). If  the  ESSID  of  your  network is one of the special
        keywords (off, on or any), you should use -- to escape it.
        Examples :
                    iwconfig eth0 essid any
                    iwconfig eth0 essid "My Network"
                    iwconfig eth0 essid -- "ANY"
