Does not work with my wlan  adapter eventhough I
configured the AP with static assignments. If I use
dhcp it works. This is my script that I run:
#!/bin/bash
#Wireless script

iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid
dhclient
echo $?

Then my wlan adapter works. You can use it as a three
separated commands or group them as a script as I did
