Iwlist is used to display some large chunk of information from a wireless network interface that is not displayed by iwconfig. This is typically list of parameters.
freq/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.
scan[ning]
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 depend on what the card
support.
Triggering scanning is a priviledged operation (root
only) and normal users can only read letf-over scan results.
By default, the way scanning is done (the scope of the scan)
will be impacted by the current setting of the driver. Also,
this command is supposed to take extra arguments to control
the scanning behaviour, but this is currently not
implemented.
ap/accesspoint/peers
Give the list of Access Points
in range, and optionally the quality of link to them. This
feature is obsolte and now deprecated in favor of scanning
support (above), and most drivers don’t support it.
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.
rate/bit[rate]
List the bit-rates supported by the device.
key/enc[ryption]
List the encryption key sizes supported and display all the encryption keys availables in the device.
power |
List the various Power Management attributes and modes of the device. |
txpower
List the various Transmit Power available on the device.
retry |
List the transmit retry limits and retry lifetime on the device. |
--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.
