I tested what happens, if I install the needed packages to Mint Lisa.
The LED always will flash and iwlist scanning will find something [1].
Before I restore something from backups, I'll copy the config files to
Mint, since all Debian and Debian derivatives are similar.
It seems that something get borked during installing, removing,
installing and editing, editing, editing.
