Just FYI -- that's not guaranteed if "iw scan" returns results, you'd have to run "iw scan passive" to make sure you pick up beacons rather than just probe responses.
That is good to know. Unfortunately, 'iw wlan0 scan passive' run as an unprivileged user results in "command failed: Operation not permitted (-1)". When I run it as root, then I get "command failed: Operation not supported (-95)". I am assuming that my version of iw (0.9.22) is not new enough.
When I run 'iwlist scan' in unprivileged mode, I did see the beacon, thus I got the right answer.
