My script works exactly the way you described. My problem is with the
last line, when I try dhclient. It seems to do an ifconfig down/up
again, which means I have to run iwlist scan again to get the wireless
working again. What I want is a way to disable dhclient from doing its
own ifconfig down/up on eth1 (or eth2 sometimes!), so that the iwlist
command doesn't have to be run separately on another xterm/console.
