Does this happen with iwlist scan or with some other program ?
It is happening with wpa_cli. I basically get a message:
ar6000_ioctl_giwscan(): data length 0
I think it is an wext issue. with wpa_supplicant support.
Also, if even iwlist scan doesn't work, does anything run before it
that touches WLAN ?
Yes, it would appear that iwlist is working. I'll need to see what it is
doing differently.
As far as I can tell, at least iwlist scan on a pristine system (i.e.,
one that doesn't do things with WLAN on its own) works for everyone.
The real problems only seem to kick in once wpa_supplicant had a
chance to run.
OK, so it is probably something in the wext layer?
