wireless − Wireless Tools and Wireless Extensions
iwconfig
iwpriv -a
The Wireless
Extensions is an API allowing you manipulate Wireless
LAN networking interfaces. It is composed of a variety of
tools and configuration files. It is documented in more
details in the Linux Wireless LAN Howto.
The Wireless Tools are use to change configuration on
the fly, to get statistics and diagnose those interfaces.
They are described in their own man page (see below).
Wireless configuration is specific to each Linux
distribution. This man page will contain in the future the
configuration procedure for a few common distributions (when
I get the necessary info from them). For the time being,
check the various files included with the Wireless Tools
package.
Debian 3.0 (and later) has integrated wireless configuration in their network scripts.
