From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98) Description of problem: Tried to run iwlist and I got a core dump.

Did you have any wireless cards installed - if so, what types?
eth0 is an Addtron AWP-100. #ika:i686# iwlist eth0 Segmentation fault (core dumped) reproducible with both: wireless-tools-21-3 (rh 7.2 release) wireless-tools-21-4 (rawhide) (I'm not the original reporter of the bug.)
I can confirm the reported behavior. When running "iwlist <interface>", a core dump is produced. "iwlist <interface> <command>" works as expected. Really only a cosmetic problem, unless you've made iwlist suid root for some strange reason. ;-)
methinks the bug has since been fixed. #ika:i686# rpm -qf `which iwlist` wireless-tools-26-1 #ika:i686# iwlist eth0 iwlist: unknown command `eth0' #ika:i686# iwlist Usage: iwlist [interface] frequency [interface] channel [interface] ap [interface] accesspoints [interface] peers [interface] bitrate [interface] rate [interface] encryption [interface] key [interface] power [interface] txpower [interface] retry [interface] scanning
