Why would iwconfig fail to change an essid? I've tried:

iwconfig wlan0 essid "default"

which has always worked in the past. But now that I've installed Fedora
8, it absolutely will not change the essid (it always shows as any/off).
I can scan using:

iwlist wlan0 scan

and shows my default network (and other nearby networks).
