That's a nice thing to have, but it doesn't seem to work on x86_64 (I
didn't try other platforms).  I tried wireless-tools 30.pre6 instead of
29, but it broke the output completely:

# iwlist eth1 scan 
*** Please report to jt@hpl.hp.com your platform details
*** and the following line :
*** IW_EV_LCP_PK2_LEN = 4 ; IW_EV_POINT_PK2_LEN = 8

eth1      Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:19:5B:56:FC:73
                    ESSID:off/any/hidden

The debug output shows that the about condition is never true with
either version of iwlist.  The command is:

iwlist eth1 scan essid foo

Copying Jean regarding the message.
