    What is the command to do a scan of the wireless network from a terminal? I used to do it but forgot the command. Must be getting old!
    I can remember iwconfig but that is it. -Thanks!

    That seems to scan the router but not the connected machines.

    Nothing. Apparently this command shows Access Points only... I tested it my self and I have exactly the same results - only Access Points...

    You are probably used to using aircrack-ng on backtrack or a similar OS that is desiged for stuff like that.

    Maybe thinking of nmap? A command like this perhaps?

    nmap -v -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | grep up

    Cheers.

    Still not getting it. I can do IP scans easy enough in Windows. Just can't find it in Linpus. How did I do it before? Hmmm
