This card will not scan for networks. None show up in this configuration box, 
nor on the command line. But if I type in the name manually as the essid it 
works great. Some tools scan differently and show ssid names when other tools 
won't so I wanted to try something else.

iwlist eth1 scan returns an error. Any other ideas?
