It should work like any other wifi since it's a standard 802.11g router that offers two signals; one is for the primary user and the second is for other Fon subscribers. The user can decide how much bandwidth to allocate for sharing with other Fon users. You don't need a separate wifi card to use it (just what you already have).

Need to be root. With Knoppix, I get a similar message if not root, but with sudo it works. Interestingly, if you are not root then you can try to scan as many times as you want, and it won't work. On the other hand, if you iwlist scanner once as root, it will then work thereafter whether root or not. Interesting behavior.

On my Toshiba 2515CDS laptop running DSL3.4 with a MyEssentials PCMCIA WiFi card containing an Atheros chipset I don't believe ndiswrapper is being used at all. But if I don't execute "ifconfig ath0 up" first (from a root session) then my "iwlist ath0 scan" command is rejected with "ath0 ... Interface doesn't support scanning : Invalid argument" error. Once I execute "ifconfig ath0 up" the scan goes OK!

I don't run ndiswrapper OR ifconfig ath0 up, and can scan (after loading the card and using iwconfig). "ifconfig" will show what is or is not already loaded.
