Right, that's what the manual page says. However, this doesn't look like the list of all APs available: $ wicontrol -i ndis0 -L NIC serial number: [ ] Station name: [ omni.langworth.com ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ Unit 21 ] Current netname (SSID): [ Unit 21 ] Desired netname (SSID): [ Unit 21 ] Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ] Channel list: [ 3fff ] IBSS channel: [ 1 ] ...
