Try not run dhclient directly. You can configure all you need in
/etc/network/interfaces:
For example:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
pre-up modprobe ......
post-up iwlist eth1 scan
post-up iwconfig eth1 rate 11M
post-up iwconfig eth1 essid ......
#post-up iwconfig eth1 key ......
Use "ifup eth1" and "ifdown eth1".
