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..
