iwlist wlan0 scan problem with iwl4965
Hi, I'm having some troubles with my iwl4965 -- this is Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook with Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 (stable lenny) installed. I cannot make iwlist wlan0 scan work, while manually configuring the interface via /etc/network/interfaces works with minor glitches.
