Marvin,
Have you tried resetting the card?
iwpriv wlan0 force_reset
I had problems in the past with getting my card to accept essid etc, from memory this fixed it, but that was a long time ago..
hth,
Ben.

Mark,
The problem is that "iwconfig wlan0 essid any" doesn't do anything for me. In fact "iwconfig "iwconfig wlan0 essid whatever" doesn't do anything either.
The essid still shows a null value and access point still shows ff:ff:ff...
This is driving me nuts. I've been trying to configure it for a while now. I guess I need a break from this. The solution might be simple, but I just cannot see it.
Thanks you. I appreciate your input.

Marvin,
I think that I missed the begining of this thread, but if you know thatname ( essid ) of the network you want to connect to, then it is just:
iwconfig wlan0 essid Network_Name
If you want to try and connect to the strongest signal, then:
iwconfig wlan0 essid any
After connecting to the network, you will need to get an IP, something like:
dhclient wlan0

David,
I've been trying all the different possibilities I can think of.
No change. :-(
iwlist wlan0 scan still shows "No scan results".
I am sad about it. I am running out of ideas. :-(
I have read the howtos 100 times, have done thousands of tests to no avail. :-(
I guess it is time for me to give thanks to all of you who have
helped
me, specially you David. I guess I've got to wait until I become
more> knowledgeable on linux and get a better understanding about this
whole thing.

Guys, first of all, let me clarify a couple of things. I hail

all that.
Secondly, one my co-workers is right next to me and he is

there is an access point close by. At the hotel where I am

there is also a WiFi network. I have been unable to scan a

either environment.
I think the kernel/driver is seeing the card for one of the

on. Besides, I can "see" the wlan0 device.
Here is the output of iwconfig, ifconfig and iwlist commands.
Again, I
would appreciate any help on this matter.
Just a shot in the dark.
Try
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc iwlist wlan0 scan
Any change?
Best of luck,
David
