[Bug 566238] [NEW] wlan0 "Interface doesn't support scanning." -- CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT is not set

[Dana Goyette]

Public bug reported:

In the Lucid TI OMAP kernel, NetworkManager and wicd, as well as all
command line tools such as iwlist, fail to work.  This seems to be due
to CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT being disabled.

Example error from NetworkManager:
NetworkManager: <WARN>  wireless_get_range(): (wlan0): couldn't get driver range information (95).
NetworkManager: <WARN>  constructor(): (wlan0): Device unsupported, ignoring.
