(Get the code!)
I've been asked to have you attempt scanning and connecting to an open AP using command-line tools. You'll need to do the following somewhere where an open AP is available. Please capture the output of all commands and attach it here.
1. Disable networking in the notification area
2. Run 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up'
3. Run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 scan'
4. Run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 connect -w <SSID>', using the SSID of the open AP
5. Run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 disconnect' to disconnect if #4 was successful.
What we want to see is data from when either the scan or connectoin fails, but if you can't ever get a failure that's useful information too. Please capture dmesg following your attempt(s) to connect with iw and attach it here as well.
Thanks!
