Comment(by vendion):

 For me on and open network and setting beside my AP, and wpa_supplicant
 turned off, this is what I get


 iwlist eth0 scan (when it decided to work)
 {{{

 }}}

 When I tried to connect to one of them iwconfig eth0 essid "Jimerson Home"
 didn't return any output, but iwconfig alone shows this

 {{{

 }}}

 The problem comes in when I try and get everything from dhcp udhcpc just
 gets stuck in an endless loop trying to get an IP.
