You need to be root in order to run that command(sudo gainroot), which probably won't help for qbw, unless it runs as root.
If you are root, then you don't have iwtool installed, in which case, run 'apt-get install iw' as root.

Use Jww's command as it's a lot neater(I could never wrap my head around sed ^^) but it should look like...
Code:
echo "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"

and paste the rusults here.
You should get something like this:
Code:
echo "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0"|root
You should get something like this:
Code:
