I have the exact same experience on three different laptops. The
systems displayed the available ESSIDs prior to the 6.10 upgrade.
System #1: HP nc6230 w/ integrated wireless NIC
02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network
Connection (rev 05)
System #2: Dell Latitude D600 w/ integrated wireless NIC
02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
System #3: Compaq nc6000 w/ integrated wireless NIC
02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg
NIC (rev 01)
I also tried a Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA card in System #2 and got the same
result. 'iwlist scanning' works as expected. Manually entering/typing the
desired ESSID achieves AP association. However, this is not practical for my
non-technical friends.
