How did you determine that there is now interface? Most probably the interface
is still down and therefore does not show with ifconfig. Try 'ifconfig -a' 
to see all interfaces.

If the interface show up with 'ifconfig -a' you have to issue 'ifconfig xxx up' 
to start scanning for wireless networks.
