That's quite odd because setting WEP keys | doesn't have anything to do with the scanning stuff, even in the | firmware. Note that Airo has always been somewhat tempermental for | scans and you may or may not see any or all APs in any given scan. All I know is that the failure is total; in all situations I've tried where a good kernel sees one or more networks and APs, a bad kernel sees none at all (and 'iwlist wifi0 scanning' reports 'No scan results'). A good kernel sometimes reports different numbers of networks and sometimes has quality problems, but a bad kernel never sees anything. (Well, has never seen anything within a relatively modest amount of time. I have not let it sit for, say, an hour in order to see if something magically gets better; I have always rebooted into a kernel with working wireless.) - cks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
