Hello,
Yesterday I was scanning with my laptop different
wifi nets. I have noticed that wificonfig does
remember the latest 10 access points. The man
page confirmed me that,
I have tried something like:
$ wificonfig -i iwk0 scan
and I was expecting to see the current ones. Im
not interested to see what was
20minutes ago from another place.
I have couple of questions about wificonfig:
1. Whats the logic behind wificonfig history ?
I bet an user would like to see what are the current
access points ... By default it should report
the current ones not a history of them. If somebody
really wants to see what was 2hrs ago then the history
option could be used...
2. Say Im interested to track down the number
of AP and their signal rate. I would like to
put continously wificonfig to scan. I can easily
write a script to do that but how can I get only
the current AP it gets ... !? Is there an option
to disable the history except using using sed, head !?
thanks,
Stefan
