Now (even with the 2.6.23-0.211 kernel), I'm getting "Interface doesn't
support scanning" when I do iwlist scan. With 0.202 and 0.204, it seemed to
do this some of the time but randomly work others. For example, it worked at
home this morning initially but connected to my neighbor's network (which I
use sometimes). When I tried to tell it to connect to (now slash-free) SSID,
it sat there spinning and then after that (and across reboots) it wouldn't
work again. Bizarreness.

I'd go back and try to find one worked, but I don't have the
installonly_limit set that high. :)
