iwlist scan problem

Hello I have an eeebox pc EB1033, it has a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter. It is recognized by trisquel and if I do iwconfig it shows as wlan0. Doing ifconfig wlan0 it is shown as up, however when I try to scan for networks using "# iwlist wlan0 s" it returns "No scan results". I tried removing it and plugging again but to no avail.
I just noticed it is exactly the same card I have in a notebook of mine with trisquel 7 in it, and it works flawlessly.
Another update, I found out that putting the router right beside the machine makes it recognize the network, but the signal is very weak and that is suboptimal, is it possible to fix this or I have to get another wifi card?
Have you considered the possibility that there might actually just be no
networks in range?
there is my home network, for instance the notebook I'm using to write this is in the same room, and there is another one, and cellphones, all get my home network.
Do you know this particular card works?
I am a translator!
The card works. The signal is weak. You need to increase the signal. How? I have no idea other then some pretty obvious stuff like getting the lappy near the router or pointing the antennas of the router in the lappy's direction.
Or buying another wifi adapter (they are very cheap on ebay. you want an atheros AR9xxx or AR5xxx).
cheers
