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)
{{{
eth0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:1E:C7:F7:37:51

}}}
When I tried to connect to one of them iwconfig eth0 essid "Jimerson Home"
didn't return any output, but iwconfig alone shows this
{{{
eth0 AR6000 802.11g ESSID:"Jimerson Home"

}}}
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.
