[SOLVED]ndisw+INPROCOMM IPN 2220 no scan result on first try

Hi,
I've got this wireless card on my laptop :

Code: Select all

02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)
I use ndiswrapper to make it work:

Code: Select all

# ndiswrapper -l
neti2220 : driver installed
	device (17FE:2220) present
If I connect with static configuration from /etc/conf.d/net to a specific AP I can connect to the Internet but before connecting my card hasn't got scan results :

Code: Select all

 # iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0     No scan results
so for example if I want to use NetworkManager or wicd I can't since they cannot find any network to join to.

AFTER I get connected with net.wlan0 initscript then I can get scan results :

Code: Select all

# iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0     Scan completed :
