You need to be using 'eth0' or 'eth1', whichever eth | device that 'iwconfig' reports. wifi0 is a historical airo anomaly | that's only used for packet capture and sniffing of the 802.11 frames. | It should not be used for anything other than Wireshark basically. | | Do you get the same behavior if you use the normal ethX interface of | the airo device? Yes; on a 'bad' kernel, 'iwlist eth1 scanning' lists nothing, and on a good kernel it lists the networks that I expect (with some variability; where I have the machine at the moment is on the edge of visibility for some networks, and they appear and disappear periodically). | Note that just because wifi0 may return scan results doesn't mean it | should be used with iwconfig... | | But also, you're doing the iwlist scan as root, correct? Yes (on both the good and the bad kernels). I haven't been trying to use iwconfig for anything; all of my actual use of the wireless networks has been done through the Fedora 11 GUI. - 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
