  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:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7118036
  
  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.
  
+ I have looked at http://wiki.debian.org/rt2860sta and it says iwconfig
+ cannot be used for this card. One must use iwpriv, but I don't get this
+ to work either. ralink just released new source code 2.1.0 now so I'll
+ have a look at that.
+ 
+ 
  please advice what debugging info that are needed.
