Wireless tools for Linux is a package maintained by Jean Tourrilhes to facilitate the manipulation of the Linux Wireless Extension. It is a set of simple text-based tools intended to support the full wireless extension[1]. In many GNU/Linux distributions, this package is included by default, or based on whether a wireless card is present. If it is not automatically installed by the distribution, it is usually easy to find in binary form.

Package tools

  • ifrename: Name wireless interfaces.
  • iwconfig: Change and view basic wireless parameters.
  • iwlist: Scanning and listing of information about wireless networks.
  • iwpriv: Manipulate Wireless Extension parameters specific to a driver.
  • iwspy: View node link quality.
