[CentOS] Monitor Wireless Networks OT

[Billy Crook]

there's the iwlist command.  I put together an awk script to columnate
the data I cared about, and a cronjob that runs it analyzes it for
things i care about (like neighbors using my same or similar network
name, same frequencies, etc, and put it in a cronjob to log and email
me anomalies.

Works pretty well.  I can share my script and awk if helpful
