So this means we have at least 2 different problems. Can you increase 
netcfg's timeout? Does "iwlist scan" (as root) show anything?

Also, active scanning is disabled by default due to regulatory 
restrictions. If you install the crda package and set your country code 
in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom (then reboot or run 
/etc/rc.d/wireless-regdom start) you should be able to do active scans 
again, maybe that helps, maybe not.
