I would run the wpa_supplicant in debug mode anyway, at least you'll be able to see what it's doing while it's scanning. It might show some useful info. BTW, why did you need to disable the built-in NIC? > Not sure why, I just know I can't get the iwi interface to work at all if the bfe is up. I couldn't even get it to associate with the wap at all. The only reason I thought to disable the bfe is because a co-worker is running fedora on his laptop (same make/model as mine) and he couldn't get his iwi to work until he disabled the bfe. -- Andy Harrison
