I've lost the post which mentioned this but someone
suggested

iwlist eth0 scanning

which here gives

eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported

I've got an orinoco gold b, 2.6.12 kernel and I'm connected
by wifi when I ran this command.

Should I have expected scanning not to work?

Thanks Joe


Hi Joe,

I'm not a wireless expert... But the default configuration on my notebook makes eth0 the wired LAN, which does not support scanning.
The wireless interface is eth1.  Have you tried "iwlist eth1 scan" ?
