Hello, I would like to ask if it is possible to get any scanning results when the wifi adapter is not associated. Scanning with unassociated card always returns: wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy when I enable debugging, it seems that the card permanently scans for the networks and attempts to associate (but this fails because of missing WEP key). I can even see name of my network in logs, but still, scanning using wext/wireless-tools just doesn't work. Dmesg output follows (homenet is my local network; output repeats many times): at76c503.c: 0xc724eba0: bssid 00:13:10:15:42:d7 channel 1 ssid homenet (686F6D656E6574) capa x0411 rates 82 84 8B 96 24 30 48 6C rssi 23 link 0 noise 0 at76c503.c: wlan0: state 1 -> 6 (JOINING) at76c503.c: wlan0: bss table entry c724eba0: requires encryption at76c503.c: wlan0 find_matching_bss: returned 00000000 at76c503.c: wlan0: state 6 -> 1 (SCANNING) at76c503.c: wlan0: start_scan (use_essid = 0, intl = 0, channel = 10, probe_delay = 10000, scan_min_time = 10, scan_max_time = 120) at76c503.c: wlan0 handle_mgmt_timeout_scan:2047 got cmd_status 0 (istate 1, scan_runs 2) at76c503.c: wlan0 handle_mgmt_timeout_scan:2047 got cmd_status 8 (istate 1, scan_runs 2) at76c503.c: wlan0 handle_mgmt_timeout_scan:2047 got cmd_status 1 (istate 1, scan_runs 2) at76c503.c: wlan0 BSS table (curr=00000000, new=00000000):(Continue reading)
