User Feedback :: anyone knows how to scan wireless signal?

I try: "iwlist wlan0 scanning"
Not working. Error message:
"wlan0 Failed to read scan data: Function not implemented"

DSL version 4.2.1.
Wireless adapter: Syntax USB-400

Thanks.

That same command works on my Atheros AirLink wireless card.

It just worked with my OLD Belkin 54g as well.

I would guess that it has to do with your adapter being USB. I am new to DSL and am still learning. But, that is my first thought.

It's not the usb that matters.. Either your wlan adapter doesn't support scanning, or the driver doesn't..

Scanning or scan? That's a prism device, it should work.
