Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wireless-tools

Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
Release:        9.04
Installed: 29-1.1ubuntu2

I tried to connect to an open network. The card is an ralink rt2860 in an Asus 
Eee 1000H. I run:
iwlist ra0 scan
sudo iwconfig ra0 essid network-name
sudo iwconfig ra0

the essid is not set. I have tried key open, mode ad-hoc or managed, but
it does not help.

When I run sudo dhclient it doens't find an IP and gives up.

Here is a link to another with the same problem:

If I run nm-applet, I can connect with that to the net. So it seems to
be a problem with iwconfig? I'm not running xfce4 nor gnome, but dwm so
that is why I want iwconfig to work.

please advice what debugging info that are needed.
