I have this old Trendnet usb 802.11bg adapter plugged into my server. It is not showing in Network manager (see prior message) so I am trying via command lines:
# ifconfig wlan0 up # iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results
Don't tell me that, my notebook is connected wirelessly and I can see b/g support in the APs here.
and
# ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:14:d1:4c:0f:79 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

Are you sure that isn't just a leftover ifcfg file named wlan0?
On my f20 box, when I plug in a wireless dongle I get some really helpful name like wlp0s29u1u2 (and to be even more helpful, the name changes if I move the exact same dongle to a different USB port - nothing like having predictable names :-).

Other than when the dongle is not plugged in, there is no entry for wlan in ifconfig.
