I would not be too quick to say that. I was running a DLink (yes
it is junk) and my laptop running Windows could access it fine,
but running Debian Etch, it exhibited behavior similar to what
you described. I swapped out the wireless router to a Linksys,
and it works flawlessly now.

I think 'iwlist wlan0 scan' will do the trick. Replace wlan0 with
your wireless interface name. Also, the interface must be up
before scanning will work, but it does not need to be connected.

Sorry I can't offer any real help.
