Thanks for the pointer, I forgot about that. The script should now be

#!/bin/bash
echo "* Turning down eth0"
ifconfig eth0 down
echo "* killing all dhcp clients"
killall dhclient
echo "* Turning up eth1"
ifconfig eth1 up
echo "* Connecting to any ESSID"
iwconfig eth1 essid any
echo "* Get an IP address"
dhclient eth1
echo "* The ESSID address is now" `iwgetid`

This should do the trick I guess. Thanks everyone.
