Ok, I admit you were right.
Now I see 2 of 3 connections shown by "iwlist scan".
So the system does work.
But I still believe it is a crazy and counter-intuitive setup.
Also, I miss my little map with available access points
shown in different directions.
I never understood what the different directions indicated,
but it was very pretty and made me feel I was in command.

To me, NM is like a military policeman -
