"iw wlan0 scan" should show you all networks, not just open ones, however, scanning has a tradeoff between quick results and complete results and you might not get complete results everytime, depending on which beacons (or perhaps other traffic) were seen during the run through the channels. It seems network manager shows you results cached from recent scans. An "iw wlan0 scan" should update those cached values. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
