nope,  i am still not sure if my wifi is not working properly or there
are no networks around normally wifi networks come on through the day
some time and i have now left swscanner on for about 4 hours to see if
this is so.

The diagnostics suggest there is nothing wrong with the wifi thats why
i am para annoyed ;-)
