WIRELESS(7) Linux Programmer's Manual WIRELESS(7)NAME
wireless - Wireless Tools and Wireless Extensions
SYNOPSIS
iwconfig
iwpriv -a
DESCRIPTION
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
Debian 3.0 (and later) has integrated wireless configuration in their network scripts.
