software for wireless check

2010-07-27 Thread roberto
hello,
simple question:
is there anything suitable to check simply via command line if there
are any wireless networks in the area where the laptop is ?
and if they are encrypted, how much strong the signal is etc .

thank you !

Or, alternatively, airodump-ng.

I don't have experience with kismet. Debian has a very simple settings
to configure wireless networks though:
