I'm not sure what kind of information you wish to obtain exactly, but
for Windows based desktops the following may be a handy alternative:

Metageek inSSIDer - http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider - 'Direct
download link' (http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/download)

It uses the native Windows API so there are far less issues with
specific hardware and driver requirements. If you can connect to a
wireless network from your laptop, then this should be able to show you
the networks in your area along with some information.

Might be worth mentioning this in the Wiki too. I know it's Windows
specific and may not be as detailed in terms of information, but it's a
lot easier to install.
