Re: [orca-list] Connecting to a wireless network using Orca

Hi Henning,
Hmmm, this is strange. When I do iwlist wlan0 scan, it tells me that
wlan0 doesn't support scanning... So, what could I do? Is there really
no way to do it using a Gnome tool? I couldn't find anything interesting
in network-admin... Robin
