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
