--- Begin Message ---Hello Jean, Attached is a bugreport about iwlist giving bogus output. Can you tell me if this is a problem with the driver, kernel, 64bitness or perhaps a bug in wireless-tools itself? Thanks, -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>--- Begin Message ---Package: wireless-tools Version: 30~pre6-1 Severity: important "iwlist scan" gives complete garbage output, along with a message to report platform details, so here goes. In particular the ESSID is always shown as "off/any/hidden" even for public networks which broadcast SSID, and it says "Encryption key:30" or something similar even for non-encrypted networks. The system is a Thinkpad T61, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel 3945 wireless, kernel 2.6.26 (x86_64, SMP) with mac80211 wireless stack.
