Few days ago I bought wifi usb adapter for extended range reasons. it was installed properly on my macbook pro with mavericks. As results I can use it to connect on-line. I'd like to use Wifi Scanner application to gather more informations about hot spots around me. The problem is that Wifi Scanner recognizes only en0 interface that correspond to Wifi internal mac interface. The wifi usb external adapter isn't recognized. how can I do? Do you have any ideas?

Rather than using the native OS X scanner, I would recommend that you download the free trial of the commercial product Hamrick VueScan. I do a lot of scanning and I rely on it. It does very well in compressing text documents to small file size.
Aside from that, you should investigate what you can do with taking scans from the OS X native scanner and then running them (as TIFF, JPG or PDF) through Automator's image manipulation utilities for further compressing the images with Apple's Quartz Filters to make them smaller.
I use Image Capture for exactly that purpose
- The overview scan can be avoided by setting Image Capture to always scan the full page (A4 or Letter) and to not do object detection
- If you scan multiple documents they get written into distinct PDF files (which actually just get numbered)
For more specific needs there's also the option to create an Automator Workflow for Image Capture.

I believe Kismac does what you need. It’s a port of Kismet for OS X. Unfortunately, the current build is three years old, so it might not run perfectly on a newer OS or newer material.
