Hm, good idea :)

I think, here is the problem (line 85-93):
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWNWID, 0xbfda570c)       = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not
supported)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWFREQ, 0xbfda570c)       = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWENCODE, 0xbfda570c)     = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWESSID, 0xbfda570c)      = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWMODE, 0xbfda570c)       = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWRANGE, 0xbfda570c)      = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

But I don't know what it means ("Operation not permitted" - understand ;))...
