That's a nice thing to have, but it doesn't seem to work on x86_64 (I
didn't try other platforms). I tried wireless-tools 30.pre6 instead of
29, but it broke the output completely:
# iwlist eth1 scan
*** Please report to jt@xxxxxxxxxx your platform details
*** and the following line :
*** IW_EV_LCP_PK2_LEN = 4 ; IW_EV_POINT_PK2_LEN = 8
eth1 Scan completed :

The debug output shows that the about condition is never true with
either version of iwlist. The command is:
iwlist eth1 scan essid foo
