To avoid a tool that is claimed to be a deprecated one:

    sudo iw dev wlp2s0 scan

(With ifupdown I can help a bit, with the others there are
far more knowledgeable folks than me around here).

Tomas, since Paul has written that the issue was solved, I hope, the following question related to ifupdown would not be considered as hijacking the thread.

I have noticed that deprecated wireless-tools have some kind of integration with ifupdown while README.Debian from iw explicitly states that no helpers are provided. Do you use in /etc/network/interfaces any configuration option handled by namely wireless-tools or you have solely wpasupplicant preferences to connect to access points?

P.S. Since Paul mentioned XFCE and menu, I suspect that WiFi configuration is handled by NetworkManager and the command to scan for available networks is

    nmcli device wifi list

and just "nmcli" for configuration overview.
