You can look at ifconfig sources for freebsd how to obtain scan information; it's simple ioctl. I'd start here: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sbin/ifconfig/ifieee80211.c#n3744 There rest of the code is in the library you can use as well (and which ifconfig uses): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/lib/lib80211 HTH, /bz -- Bjoern A.
