SYNOPSIS

       iwlist interface freq
       iwlist interface ap
       iwlist interface rate
       iwlist interface keys
       iwlist interface power
       iwlist interface txpower
       iwlist interface retry


DESCRIPTION

       Iwlist  is used to display some large chunk of information
       from a wireless network interface that is not displayed by
       iwconfig. This is typically list of parameters.


PARAMETERS

       freq   Give  the  list  of  available  frequencies  in the
              device and the number of defined  channels.  Please
              note that usually the driver returns the total num­
              ber of channels and only the frequencies  available
              in  the  present  locale, so there is no one to one
              mapping between frequencies displayed  and  channel
              numbers.

       ap     Give  the  list  of  Access  Points  in  range, and
              optionally the quality of link to them.

       rate/bit[rate]
              List the bit-rates supported by the device.

       keys/enc[ryption]
              List the encryption key sizes supported and display
              all the encryption keys availables in the device.

       power  List  the  various  Power Management attributes and
              modes of the device.

       txpower
              List the various Transmit Power  available  on  the
              device.

       retry  List  the  transmit retry limits and retry lifetime
              on the device.
