Hi!
I'm having trouble getting my wireless NIC to work.
When I run "iwlist wlan0 scan" at work it gives me a list of networks but when at home I get "wlan0 No scan result"
So at least the card is up and running.

Welcome to the forum, firre!
Did you try with networkmaneger/wicd too ?

Have you run "ifconfig wlan0 up" before scanning for networks?

Thanks djszapi!
No, but I did try Wifi Radar. No luck there either.

I forgot to say that the card works fine in Windows and I can connect to my home network.
