"not ready" is NOT the same as "no scan results" or "operation not
permitted"

try setting the parameters one "param value" pari at
a time ... sleep 1 in between
iwconfig eth1 essid foo
iwconfig eth1 channel 6
iwconfig eth1 ap mac:addy:of:the:ap
...
and sometimes, the order of the parameters does make
a difference and the value for each parameter also
does matter, as some options are not supported by
the pci card or drivers
