mostly :(

Imagine following scenario:

 - no network interface is up only loopback

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

 - and now I would like to start wlan0 through wpa_supplicant and
dhclient. The only message I've got is:

** end of output **

I do not understand the difference between having eth0 up and down and
how it corelate with wireless AP scan and association ?

What am I doing wrong?
