Bugreport: DHCP with nonetworkmanager does not work + netcardconfig in console error

[utu]

#!/bin/bash

# rc.local

setwifi () { # see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684495
WIFI="eth1"; dhclient -r $WIFI; ifconfig $WIFI up
iwconfig $WIFI essid "ESSID" key "123456789c" mode "Managed"
nohup dhclient $WIFI
}

setwifi

exit 0

That's what I used to use in 6.4.4.
You may want to use something more secure.
In 6.4.4, for some reason getting wifi on-line took about 2 min.
This took only 50 sec or so.
In 6.7, network manager is getting on-line now in about 50 sec,
so this isn't necessary for me any longer.
