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
