This isn't > perfect so I'm open to suggestions as well. I use a little perl script (20 LOC) I wrote some time ago using iwconfig as backend. It outputs a human readable list of the available networks sorted by signal quality. With the flag -d you can specify an BSSID (or part of) to get detailed info about that network. If somebody wants to give it a shot, is in my toys repository: http://nibble.develsec.org/hg/toys/file/4bd5f258b429/wifiscan I personally use this script + iwconfig + ifconfig/dhclient. And some sh scripts to connect to my usual networks. Kind regards, -- nibble
