iwlist doesn't know how to talk to prism cards.

Perhaps you could ask someone what the ssid is?

There is a scanner utility called kismet that will work with wlan-ng
devices.
You may be able to find an rpm using rpmfind.net. (You should get the
source, also, if you install a precompiled binary, since the docs tell
you to use the source to get config information.)
