If you want wi-fi handover it sounds like you _don't_ want to do it the way kismet does it - as you quote: '(.. cannot be) associated with any access point.'
So, why not scan when you're connected? Something like
iwlist wlan0 scan |grep ESSID | cut -d: -f2 |sort|uniq
Can be modified ad infinitum, look at the raw output of iwlist wlan 0 scan
to see what it provides.

Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for and have to learn.
The problem is I get
iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
At the same time I xcan select a connection,
so scanning does work any way.
What is a way to make iwlist to work with each option
(channel, ap, power, peers ...) ?

The command only works if wlan0 is active already (this is different from some other wlan interfaces/drivers for desktop computers). In other words, try the command while you're already connected to an AP.
When you get it working you'll see that it also prints Channel, signal level and more.

My friend, you are great.
I tested iwlist in wlan0 on mode and it didn't work
Interface doesn't support ... and the like.
Now it works.
iwspy is still down.
iwlist wlan0 ap / accesspoints
doesn't work either
iwlist wlan0 scan
lists one network I am connected to only
maemo network scan shows every ap, wifi network
I need shell script emulating find network by maemo
to show me every wireless network.

(update 2)
one question
on connecting iwlist wlan0 scan
shows 3 cells (wifi networks)
on connected
iwlist wlan0 scan shows the only wifi network (ap) I am connected.
What I need and trye to emulate is
Select connections, to show every and any ap, wifi ndetwork.

Unfortunately signal quality/level is much worse vs. Select connection by maemo.
Once a time 1,2 or 3 networks in the same room
and error message:
Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument (from time to time)
Some wirelesstools don't work
ifrename
Error:Can't open configuration file '/etc/iftab': No such file or directory
iwspy
lo Interface doesn't support wireless statistic collection

Dynamic rerouting - Inter-WiFi handover - how to implement for maemo ?
(update 2)
looking for a shell script to set internet wifi client into RD monitor mode
like Kismet does to scan for avaiable wifi networks
what already search for wifi networks does
Need shell script only (commands)
to start writing dynamic rerouting algorithms.

Kismet works by putting the wireless client adapter into RF monitor mode. While in so-called “rfmon” mode, the wireless client is not (and cannot be) associated with any access point. Instead, it listens to all wireless traffic.
