Using that interface you get s/n data. I did exactly as you did the above three commands; this time it does not have frozen the system (maybe it has to do that when I crashed it at home I was connected through that iwi0 interface, ie it was UP and RUNNING); the 'dstumbler' was cycling through the channels and found on channel 11 the access point; I stopped it and relaunched 'dstumbler iwi0 -o' again, and again, but it can't see the ap any more, which of course is still there: $ ifconfig iwi0 scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS Sisis 00:02:72:43:e1:2f 11 11M 84:0 100 EP matthias
