Did you try bringing it down first with 'ifdown wlan0', then bring it up 
with 'ifup wlan0'?

This could be becos ndiswrapper driver doesn't support scanning(may be). 
  'scanning' is one of the options of iwlist command. There are others, 
refer to man page for more info.

According to this page:
   http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-85551.html
your FD6020 should Just Work(TM) with atmel_cs drivers

Also what is your wireless card's details? Use this command to find out 
'cardinfo'. Is it listed in this page:
   http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS
But I think, that page may be outdated. My F5D6020 ver.2 it works fine.

You could try this also:

Hmm, may be you should try comment out all the wireless-* options except 
wireless-essid.
