Topic: Listing wireless clients

The content of this topic has been archived on 4 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Seems like a simple task, but I cannot find any reference on how to list the currently connected wireless clients. I know I can list the arp table for the wireless interface or look at dhcp leases (assuming I am using dhcp on the wlan), but there must be something built into the wireless driver to list client connections. Can someone shed some light on this? I am assuming no 802.1x or WEP, just an open AP.

wl assoclist should do what you want.

It seems as though wl is not part of the regular distribution? I see wlc, but that does not have the 'assoclist' option. I think I remember reading the reason wl is not included anymore is because of some licensing issue?

Try :

ipkg update
ipkg install wl

The discussion might have continued from here.
