The above isn't good news. I'd guess that the above means that the
wireless driver isn't working. My laptop gives me a list of APs as long
as they are there to be found (even when the ESSID isn't being broadcast).
However, there is something there:
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig eth1
eth1 unassociated ESSID:off/any Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
Mode:Managed Frequency=nan kHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm
Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:130 Missed beacon:0
I think you'll see this as long as the driver loads. Everything that's
being reported indicates that the driver isn't getting anything from the
radio: no packets, no signal quality, etc. The "invalid misc" is
interesting since it's the only non-zero value.
I kind of jumped into the middle of this thread. What does lspci say is
your wireless card? Are you using a native driver or ndiswrapper?
Cheers,
Dave
