ifconfig list scan

[Cherry G. Mathew]

Hi,
I pulled in the code from FreeBSD.
This patch doesn't work for iwi(4). Wondering if its a driver issue.
Can people try it out on other WLAN drivers/ comment on the patch ?
Cheers,

Hi,

In a bit more detail. ( thanks huberf)

This patch adds the "list scan" command to give a list of all WLAN APs
in the area. for device <if>:

ifconfig <if> list scan

should give you a list of APs in the area.

From the FreeBSD manpage:

list scan
Display the access points and/or ad-hoc neighbors located in the
vicinity. The -v flag may be used to display long SSIDs. This
information may be updated automatically by the adaptor and/or
with a scan request. list ap is another way of requesting this
information.


Thanks,

Thanks!

The all-caps column headers and such should be changed to lowercase for
ease of reading.

I missed out a bit in the patch. Here's the complete set of patches to
make ifconfig <i/f> list scan work.

Hi Cherry,

This works for me on iwi(4).
