    WaveStumbler is console based 802.11 network mapper
    for Linux. It reports the basic AP stuff like
    channel, WEP, ESSID, MAC etc. It has support for
    Hermes based cards (Compaq, Lucent/Agere, ... )
    It still in development but tends to be stable.
    
    It consist of a patch against the kernel driver,
    orinoco.c which makes it possible to send the scan
    command to the driver via the /proc/hermes/ethX/cmds
    file. The answer is then sent back via a netlink
    socket. WaveStumbler listens to this socket and
    displays the output data on the console.
    
    The patch should be applied agains linux-2.4.17. It
    patches the whole linux/drivers/wireless to version
    2.4.18-pre7 + the apscan code in orinoco.c.
    This is a 100% experimental patch, but it seems to
    work quite good with my Orinoco Silver Card, so feel
    free to try it out.
    
    It can be found at:
