<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>Iwlist</B>
|
|
|
|
is used to display some additional information from a wireless network
|
|
interface that is not displayed by
|
|
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+iwconfig">iwconfig</A></I>(8).
|
|
|
|
The main argument is used
|
|
to select a category of information,
|
|
<B>iwlist</B>
|
|
|
|
displays in detailed form all information related to this category,
|
|
including information already shown by
|
|
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+iwconfig">iwconfig</A></I>(8).

|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>scan</B>[ning]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Give the list of Access Points and Ad-Hoc cells in range, and
|
|
optionally a whole bunch of information about them (ESSID, Quality,
|
|
Frequency, Mode...). The type of information returned depends on what
|
|
the card supports.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
Triggering scanning is a privileged operation
|
|
(<I>root</I>
|
|
|
|
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</B>
|
|
|
|
is used to specify a scan on a specific ESSID. With some card/driver,
|
|
this enables to see hidden networks. The option
|
|
<B>last</B>
|
|
|
|
does not trigger a scan and read left-over scan results.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>freq</B>[uency]/<B>channel</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
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.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>rate</B>/<B>bit</B>[rate]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the bit-rates supported by the device.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>keys</B>/<B>enc</B>[ryption]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the encryption key sizes supported and list all the encryption
|
|
keys set in the device.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>power</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the various Power Management attributes and modes of the device.
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>txpower</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the various Transmit Powers available on the device.
|
|
<DT id="7"><B>retry</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the transmit retry limits and retry lifetime on the device.
|
|
<DT id="8"><B>ap</B>/<B>accesspoint</B>/<B>peers</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Give the list of Access Points in range, and optionally the quality of
|
|
link to them. This feature is
|
|
<B>obsolete</B>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<DT id="9"><B>event</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the wireless events supported by the device.
|
|
<DT id="10"><B>auth</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the WPA authentication parameters currently set.
|
|
<DT id="11"><B>wpa</B>[keys]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List all the WPA encryption keys set in the device.
|
|
<DT id="12"><B>genie</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the Generic Information Elements set in the device (used for WPA
|
|
support).
|
|
<DT id="13"><B>modu</B>[lation]
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
List the modulations supported by the device and the modulations
|
|
currently enabled.
|
|
<DT id="14"><B>--version</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Display the version of the tools, as well as the recommended and
|
|
current Wireless Extensions version for the tool and the various
|
|
wireless interfaces.
|
|
<DT id="15"><B>--help</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Display short help message.
