34 is used to display some large chunk of information from a wireless
35 network interface that is not displayed by iwconfig. This is typically
43 Give the list of available frequencies in the device and the number of
44 defined channels. Please note that usually the driver returns the
45 total number of channels and only the frequencies available in the
46 present locale, so there is no one to one mapping between frequencies
47 displayed and channel numbers.
50 Give the list of Access Points in range, and optionally the quality of
51 link to them. This feature is obsolte and now deprecated in favor of
52 scanning support (below), and it will disappear in the future.
55 Give the list of Access Points and Ad-Hoc cells in range, and
56 optionally a whole bunch of information about them (ESSID, Quality,
57 Frequency, Mode...). The type of information returned depend on what

62 only) and normal users can only read letf-over scan results. By
63 default, the way scanning is done (the scope of the scan) will be
64 impacted by the current setting of the driver. Also, this command is
65 supposed to take extra arguments to control the scanning behaviour,
66 but this is currently not implemented.
