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. Thank you, Joe

try:
iwlist wlan0 scan
which will scan for wireless networks and give you the information you mention above.

Not sure about for CentOS (other than iwlist), but I recently found 'wavemon' for my Fedora 20 system: http://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/wavemon/

It builds fine on Centos 6.5. However, I don't have Centos on a machine that also has wireless, so I can't verify that it actually WORKS.
It does work fine on my netbook, running F19.
