The type of information returned depends on what +the card supports. +.br +Triggering scanning is a privileged operation +.RI ( root +only) and normal users can only read left-over scan results. By +default, the way scanning is done (the scope of the scan) is dependant +on the card and card settings. +.br +This command takes optional arguments, however most drivers will ignore +those. The option +.B essid +is used to specify a scan on a specific ESSID. With some card/driver, +this enables to see hidden networks. The option +.B last +does not trigger a scan and read left-over scan results. +.TP +.BR freq [uency]/ channel +Give the list of available frequencies in the device and the number of +defined channels. Please note that usually the driver returns the +total number of channels and only the frequencies available in the +present locale, so there is no one-to-one mapping between frequencies +displayed and channel numbers. +.TP +.BR rate / bit [rate] +List the bit-rates supported by the device. +.TP +.BR keys / enc [ryption] +List the encryption key sizes supported and list all the encryption +keys set in the device. +.TP +.B power +List the various Power Management attributes and modes of the device. +.TP +.B txpower +List the various Transmit Powers available on the device. +.TP +.B retry +List the transmit retry limits and retry lifetime on the device. +.TP +.BR ap / accesspoint / peers +Give the list of Access Points in range, and optionally the quality of +link to them. This feature is +.B obsolete +and now deprecated in favor of scanning support (above), and most +drivers don't support it. +.br +Some drivers may use this command to return a specific list of Peers +or Access Points, such as the list of Peers associated/registered with +the card. See your driver documentation for details. +.TP +.B event +List the wireless events supported by the device. +.TP +.B auth +List the WPA authentication parameters currently set. +.TP +.BR wpa [keys] +List all the WPA encryption keys set in the device. +.TP +.B genie +List the Generic Information Elements set in the device (used for WPA +support). +.TP +.BR modu [lation] +List the modulations supported by the device and the modulations +currently enabled. +.TP +.B --version +Display the version of the tools, as well as the recommended and +current Wireless Extensions version for the tool and the various +wireless interfaces. +.TP +.B --help +Display short help message. +.\" +.\" FILES part +.\" +.SH FILES +.I /proc/net/wireless +.\" +.\" SEE ALSO part +.\" +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR iwconfig (8), +.BR iwspy (8). +.BR iwevent (8), +.BR iwpriv (8), +.BR wireless (7). + |
