Hi!

I have a strange issue with a laptop my parents just got for gravmass: it does not list all Wifi access points. In fact it lists the neighbors' access points but not their own!

I naturally installed Trisquel 7 on that machine. The USB adapter they use is http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=243&model=TL-WN722N

I unsuccessfully tried to connect to the access point as if it was hidden. With the *same* adapter but on my own laptop (with Trisquel 7 too), the access point is properly listed and I can connect to it. Here are some information from iwlist's scanning:

I am running out of (stupid) idea. Anybody with a new one?
