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

Hi, I am having interference with my neighbouring wireless networks. Is there a linux tool that enables me to monitor the ESSID, channel, power output and other information for neighbouring wireless networks? I am especially interested in the channel so I can choose a different one.

There is a really good Android app, WIFI analyzer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer if you have access to a phone or better yet a tablet. Very nice and allows you to look at all kinds of things, I also know of another one called Wifi Radar for linux but not nears as good. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
