netcfg 2.8.2-1: wifi-menu and wifi-select problems
Computer #1: Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] wifi, using the driver: iwl3945
Using 'wifi-menu' tool from the latest upgrade to netcfg (2.8.2-1):
If I'm already connected to a network, wifi-menu scans and shows networks correctly.
But if I'm not connected, wifi-menu finds no networks.
wifi-select DOES scan and find the networks correctly.
Wicd works correctly (but then seems to get stuck with 'bad password' failure).
NetworkManager appears to work perfectly.
(Note: Wifi-select uses iwlist rather than wpa supplicant commands to scan for networks.)
Computer #2: Asus Eee PC 701SD netbook with Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE wifi, using driver: r8187se
wifi-menu apparently scans, but finds no networks.
wifi-select scans and finds networks correctly, but after choosing any network, it reports: "Wireless network <NETWORK> not present."
Wicd works correctly (but then seems to get stuck with 'bad password' failure).
NetworkManager appears to work perfectly.
Anyone else finding problems like these?

Same here for my iwlagn and ath9k_htc cards, with latest testing/netcfg 2.8.3-1.
