Thank you. I have wireless tools installed in my system. [root@localhost rar]# urpmi wireless-tools unable to access hdlist file of "update_source", medium ignored The package(s) are already installed When i connect using IWCONFIG command, internet is getting connected properly and a "signal bars" like "||||" but in increasing order of size appear in the tray. But when I right click that and go to manage wireless networks menu, It says "No device found" Please have a look at the screenshot for more details.

Hi, I have a wireless lan card avaliable in my dell inspiron 1501 laptop. The problem with that is I am not able to search for available wireless networks in the range. But, If i know the essid and key, I am able to connect to wireless internet using the IWCONFIG and DHCLIENT commands. But for this I have to know the essid. How do I search for available wireless networks in a particular region? [moved from Software by spinynorman]
