Done. It seems to be that simply the settings are still bad, but the
driver and firmware seem not to be borked.
# mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/oz
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/lisa
# cp -p /mnt/oz/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf /mnt/lisa/etc/hostapd
# mv /mnt/lisa/etc/dnsmasq.conf /mnt/lisa/etc/dnsmasq.conf.DEFAULT
# cp -p /mnt/oz/etc/dnsmasq.conf /mnt/lisa/etc
# diff /mnt/oz/etc/resolv.conf /mnt/lisa/etc/resolv.conf
# cat /mnt/lisa/etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf

#mv /mnt/lisa/etc/network/interfaces /mnt/lisa/etc/network/interfaces.DEFAULT
# cp -p /mnt/oz/etc/network/interfaces /mnt/lisa/etc/network/interfaces
Then I rebooted to Mint Lisa and now the LED doesn't flash there too and
iwlist scan does end with no result, so I assume the settings are still
bad.
$ service NetworkManager status
NetworkManager: unrecognized service
$ iwlist scanning
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan0 No scan results
ppp0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
