Hi all.

I know how to determine if scanned AP uses B or G mode, but how to know (using "iwlist wlan0 scan") it uses N protocol ?

Thank You
Mark

Use "iw dev wlan0 scan" and see if the cell has a "HT capabilities" block.

OK. "iw dev wlan scan"  works, but i can not get data about the signal quality,  Channel mode (is it master or ad hoc) and security options.
I need to find all security algorithm options.

Is there other options? like third party commands?
