How are you controlling the network? Is it with NetworkManager?
Please post the output of the command 'iwconfig'. If you get a
"command not found" message, you will need to provide the full path
such as /sbin/iwconfig. Also, does scanning work? Use the command
'sudo iwlist scan'. That command may also require a full path.
