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 ]
...
WEP encryption: [ Off ]
TX encryption key: [ 1 ]
Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ]
Available APs:
wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Operation not permitted
Instead, it looks like the AP that I'm conencted to, but this sure doesn't:
$ wicontrol -i ndis0 -l
8 stations:
ap[0]:
netname (SSID): [ linksys ]
BSSID: [ 00:06:25:e8:1c:13 ]
Channel: [ 1 ]
Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 80 / 80 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 80 / -69 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 0 ]
Capinfo: [ ]
DataRate [Mbps]: [ 11 ]
...
ap[7]:
netname (SSID): [ Unit 19 ]
BSSID: [ 00:0f:66:b9:6e:21 ]
Channel: [ 6 ]
Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 65 / 65 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 65 / -84 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 0 ]
Capinfo: [ WEP ]
