  We study the meson-baryon interaction with $J^P=1/2^-$ using the hidden-gauge
Lagrangians and mixing pseudoscalar meson-baryon with the vector meson-baryon
states in a coupled channels scheme with $\pi N$, $\eta N$, $K\Lambda$,
$K\Sigma$, $\rho N$ and $\pi \Delta$ (d-wave). We fit the subtraction constants
of each channel to the $S_{11}$ partial wave amplitude of the $\pi N$
scattering data extracted from experimental data. We find two poles that we
associate to the $N^*(1535)$ and the $N^*(1650)$ resonances and show that the
subtraction constants are all negative and of natural size. We calculate the
branching ratios for the different channels of each resonance and we find a
good agreement with the experimental data. The cross section for the $\pi^- p
\to \eta n$ scattering is also evaluated and compared with experiment.
