Ah! This shows that your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has |
| 20 |
something wrong with it and it can't be parsed. Please check the file's |
| 21 |
access rights and its contents. This is what it looks like here: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ ls -la /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
| 24 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33388 Jun 14 15:02 |
| 25 |
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |

Your device has not been initiated, therefore it would not be able to scan |
| 35 |
until then. |

Just in case, can you please check that rfkill lists both soft and hard locks |
| 61 |
are *not* on? |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Also, what is your wireless NIC? It may be worth checking that you are still |
| 64 |
using the correct driver for your wireless chipset? |

|
| 68 |
and that you are using the latest firmware? |
