iwlist wlan0 scan fails to read scan data
by rodrick from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SSV2)
Hi
I'm running Debian 10 with a AWUS052NH usb adapter. I have never had any problems with this device. Two days ago I turned on the machine and iwconfig wlan0 confirmed the device was up and running and yes, I have internet. However when I did iwlist wlan0 the output was:
Failed to read scan data : resource temporarily unavailable
iw wlan0 scan does the scan but is too verbose.
As I have not updated the driver for this device I don't think that could be the culprit. However, if I check Wicd network manager before I bring the interface up it lists all of the access points around me but after I connect it reverts to: no wireless networks found.
So what am I missing here?
Thanx for your help.
