IFUP fails to connect to an OPEN wifi even when the proper ESSID has been entered in /etc/network/interfaces file. The following method is a way of connecting to an OPEN wifi using iwconfig.
The Procedure:
First bring up the network interface wlan0 or whatever you have.
If someone knows how to disconnect other than brute forcing a disconnection like killing dhclient and using iwconfig wlan0 down, please post your method here. Sometimes, the only way to connect is by using these low level methods.
