Install wireless-tools. I thought it was installed by default, my apology.

Hi, even I am stuck out here at this point.
Steps till followed till now,
1. I have installed wifi switcher
2. disabled wifi from the status bar
3. uninstalled wifi switcher
4. eMMC flashed the device
5. installed wifi switcher
6. disabled wifi - the status bar doesn't respond
7. opened xterminal and tried to login is as root even that is stuck
8. restarted phone
9. opened xterminal followed you commands at the start of this thread.
10. wireless-tools were not present, got them using my mobile data provider connection. (Only this works, that too when I've selected 'Any connection' in settings and I launch a webpage and it connects successfully.')
11. executed the command 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' and got the following message,
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
I don't know how to fix this problem. Kindly let me know if I've missed any step.
