This shows that your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has=20 something wrong with it and it can't be parsed. Please check the file's=20 access rights and its contents. This is what it looks like here: $ ls -la /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf =2Drw-r--r-- 1 root root 33388 Jun 14 15:02=20 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf > > # iwlist wlan0 scanning >=20 > Simply returns: >=20 > wlan0 No scan results Your device has not been initiated, therefore it would not be able to scan= =20 until then. > It also returns "0".

Just in case, can you please check that rfkill lists both soft and hard loc= ks=20 are *not* on?=20 Also, what is your wireless NIC? It may be worth checking that you are sti= ll=20 using the correct driver for your wireless chipset? http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and that you are using the latest firmware? http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Device_firmware_installation =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1704091.zLflJ5Hek2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk5pH8UACgkQVTDTR3kpaLaXFQCgytqFrd9NEheHMH7W8/60WQam jIcAoIff4WzOkiMPveqpFvZyz069cNCt =/zLr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1704091.zLflJ5Hek2--
