Ah!  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

Your device has not been initiated, therefore it would not be able to scan=

until then.

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?

and that you are using the latest firmware?
