I normally run "apt-get -d install wireless-tools" and it will list the repository, then I access the repository using a web browser (append "/dist" to URL) and drill down into the Packages file to find the full URL for the package.
In this case wireless-tools (on N800) is in the repository "http://repository.maemo.org bora/free" so I accessed http://repository.maemo.org/dists/bo...armel/Packages, searched for wireless-tools and then enter the filename into the browser (http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bor...sso1_armel.deb).
There's probably an easier way but it works for me!
Note that "bora" is a synonym for maemo3.1.

It should be downloaded from the repository "http://eko.one.pl mistral/user" but for some reason this site is redirecting incorrectly so I can't traverse it as I outlined above.
I've downloaded the package successfully to my N800 and uploaded it to my own web server here - I don't think it's OS specific so should install OK on OS2006.

Actually, just came across bug #1106 which states that iwlist may have problems finding all available access points (certainly the case on N800, possibly also 770?) in which case installing syslogd might be another option to extra more info from the GUI.
Unfortunately the maemo.org site has just disappeared off the air - as soon as I have the package links for syslogd I'll post 'em up...

alrite, the response of iwlist wlan0 scanning is "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning." does this mean my 770 offically dead?

Isn't looking good... 
What output do you get when you run "iwconfig"? With no connection established, I get the following:

Another place to discuss this issue would be the maemo developer mailing list as Kalle Valo (the Nokia WiFi developer) is very active here and could offer more insightful opinion.
