I started another thread but this thread already seems to be dealing with my issues. My problem is that I can connect to secured networks (at least 2 different networks) but I cannot connect to any unsecured networks. To connect to my secured network I am using:
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth1 down
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid 'MY_NETWORKS_ESSID' key MY_KEY mode Managed
sudo ifconfig eth1 up
sudo dhclient eth1
It works and I have a connection.
When I try to connect to an unsecured network with:
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth1 down
sudo iwconfig eth1 mode Managed essid 'NETGEAR'
sudo ifconfig eth1 up
sudo dhclient eth1
I get the error:
Code:
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 7188
killed old client process, removed PID file

I can connect to this network under XP so I know that there is no MAC filtering going on or anything like that.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
