I assume from iwconfig that you are running on Linux. What version of what Linux distribution is this, and what version of the kernel does it have?

What is the list of interfaces on your machine, as shown by, for example, ifconfig -a?

Which interface is your wifi interface?

What was the iwconfig command you used, and what did it print when you tried to use it?
