Having Problems with KWiFiManager

[sbovisjb1]

I am getting this curious error when i run KWiFiManager in Fedora Core 4.

///////////////////////////////////EDIT///////////////////////
I have heard that there is a wireless package that lets you user lwconfig..... that may do it... but i dont know.
Please help

Please post the output of echo $PATH and
updatedb
locate iwlist

[sbovisjb1]

Please post the output of echo $PATH

/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/opt/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

and
updatedb

[david@localhost ~]$ updatedb
fatal error: updatedb: You are not authorized to create a default slocate database!

as root
[root@localhost ~]# updatedb
[root@localhost ~]#
NOTHING :( (i sustpect my data base was still updated ;))

locate iwlist

/usr/share/man/man8/iwlist.8.gz
/sbin/iwlist

[falko]

So iwlist is in /sbin.
As which user did you try to run KWiFiManager? What'S the output of echo $PATH for that user?

[sbovisjb1]

i ran it for [david@localhost]

the out out is
[CODE][david@localhost ~]$ echo $PATH
/opt/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/opt/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/david/bin
[CODE]

There is only one user [me]

[falko]

Try for example
ln -s /sbin/iwlist /usr/bin/iwlist
The error should then be gone.

Thank you, i will try that when i get home, because i am at school. Interesting, making a kernel link to another location, thanks again :)

[sbovisjb1]

That command fixed that error thank you! But now i get even more interesting errors. The program doesnt find an access point and the ip adress is unavaliable, but when i scan it says that no networks are avaliable, regardless that my dad is using wireless internet upstairs and the router is next to me. My drivers are properly installed and when i try to accoustic scan i get these errors.

these are the errors:
