I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on my notebook. It's wireless is configured automatically and I can connect to wireless connections without any problem. Nowadays, the network facilities of dormitory have been changes and I can't use the wireless in the dormitory anymore! I have no problem with other wireless networks, but here it's impossible to connect. I used iwconfig command and got:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Link Quality:5  Signal level:0  Noise level:199
          Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:0  invalid misc:0

eth0      no wireless extensions.

vboxnet0  no wireless extensions.

Of course, I'm connected with cable. When I use

sudo iwconfig eth1 essid Sharafi_T8_B

I get no error but still the network is not connected! So what's the problem?

Also, when I use command sudo dhclient eth1 I get the following:
