Hi Luis,

I've tried this, with no obvious change.

I've not used the 'ip' command before in my networking
explorations, always relying on ifconfig to bring up
devices.

Ifconfig reports that wlan0 is UP. Is there any other
kind of UP that I need to understand?

Another question: From the point of view of setting up
wireless, if the wlan0 device is UP, should
'iwlist scan' return a list of access points? 

Or are there any other conditions to be met?

Thanks.
