I'm using orinoco_cs driver from 2.6.6 kernel and when I try
iwlist eth1 scanning
I get
Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported
error.

I was under impression that scanning is a very basic functionality and
that orinoco driver was supposed to support it. Without scanning, the
driver is nearly useless. What am I missing ?
