In my case, when I issue a 'iwlist scan', it does find the network. On issuing the command the 2nd time, the network is lost.
I tried this a few times with rmmod'ing and modprobing and checking this. I then started knetworkmanager and that app found the network and also connected to it. Looks like something changes when 'iwlist scan' is issued.
