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.
