This shows that your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has something wrong with it and it can't be parsed. Please check the file's access rights and its contents. This is what it looks like here: $ ls -la /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33388 Jun 14 15:02 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf > > # iwlist wlan0 scanning > > Simply returns: > > wlan0 No scan results Your device has not been initiated, therefore it would not be able to scan until then. > It also returns "0".

Just in case, can you please check that rfkill lists both soft and hard locks are *not* on? Also, what is your wireless NIC? It may be worth checking that you are still using the correct driver for your wireless chipset? http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and that you are using the latest firmware? http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Device_firmware_installation -- Regards, Mick
