cvsouth: I'm still confused about your screenshots. The second image shows you using airodump-ng. You do realise that airodump-ng turns your wireless interface into monitor mode and that renders osso-wlan to not work? osso-wlan (as I understand it) depends on the output of iwlist scan. If iwlist scan is issued whilst the interface (wlan0) the output would be null as it cannot send data whilst in monitor mode.

If you used airodump-ng and you want osso-wlan to show you all the APs visible then you will need to manually switch the interface from monitor back to managed:

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
ifconfig wlan0 up

You may need to wait for a few seconds before it will show any visible wireless networks.
