It's not a matter of the "false" person, but of the person's knowledge and engagement to get the configuration right. On Linux, there are scripts provided by the maintainers of the network which do... something. If you're okay with running arbitrary software on your computer, then, well, it's easier for sure. But is it more secure? And in case of problems, easier to debug? FreeBSD doesn't have different tools for each kind of network. The "ifconfig" program (see "man ifconfig", entries related to "wireless") is used to control the WLAN card. Heavily simplified, imagine it like this: Y | NIC ---> hardware | iwn ---> driver | ifconfig ---> control the interface *1* | wpa_supplicant ---> make the connection *2* | dhclient ---> get the IP via DHCP | user programs ---> do things on the Internet Points *1* and *2* require custom configuration, such as proper mode settings, access credentials etc. If you fail to provide them, the whole "stack" won't work. Do not expect the impossible. > Solaris 11.3 do not have ,possible version 10 have or ? Solaris isn't supported - you said "Linux only". And honestly, Solaris is harder to use than FreeBSD. :-) > relevant comment would appreciated > > watch -n1 iwconfig > annd in x11 can see with 1 sek interval > time signal level > 18.01.01 -56 dbm > 18.01.02 -58 dbm > > level ist tested 2 month 14 -16 hours per day in Centr of university > complex of Hamburg > can be level -52 dbm -90 dbm > by -84 dbm browser do not work ... that is good correlated It's good when you know about the signal strength and which levels are required for operation. That information can also be found in "ifconfig" output. > with limit -174 dbm for 1 hz bandwitch 1 Hz? One (whole) Hertz? I doubt that's true... :-) On Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:54:43 +0100, swjatoslaw gerus wrote: > Inventory and Monitoring Commands for Linux, Solaris and AIX > > https://www.netiq.com/documentation/ps_recon37/recon_user/data/bipfhdm.html > > If author understand correctly and list above ist correct > > exist no command in UNIX ,which is related only to wireless as > folloving commando in Linux Correct. Such a "the one command" does not exist. It simply isn't _needed_ because UNIX in general tries to implement the concept "create one program that performs one task, perform only _that_ task, and perform it well; make it able to connect to other programs" - and that's exactly how the net- working "stack" (mentioned above) works on FreeBSD. > If that is correct,than author false person in unix world You seem to have basic UNIX skills, so why waste them?

Linux operations heavily rely on those tools, and most distributions concentrate around a specific desktop environment. Of course there are distributions that allow you the freedom of choice like FreeBSD does, but they _might_ be too complicated for you at the moment. > only demand for composite "standart " window manager -compiz or ? That is possible, and the pointers on how to achieve this have been provided several times. There is a whole section in the handbook designed to help you. > it was not simple by ubuntu 16.04 64 bit (force gnome ,unity &) but > can try another ... Of course you can try different Linux distributions, and it's so much easier because you can try them from a USB stick or a CD / DVD _withouth_ needing to install them. Go ahead! > or old solaris 10 have iwconfig ? No. And _old_ software should be avoided anyway, even if it's Solaris. And... doesn't Solaris use Gnome, too? I mean, _after_ CDE... ;-) PS. Don't forward ("Fwd:") to the list, _send_ to the list. The list will "forward" messages to all subscribers automatically. You don't need to do the list's work. :-) The list's address belongs in the To: or Cc: field. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
