This can be achieved with standard Linux commands. Read through the post linked to below, for more info on that.Quote:

You should install the wireless-tools package (if it wasn't installed by default). It contains these commands:Quote:
- To identify the Access points for WiFi connection
- iwconfig manipulate the basic wireless parameters
- iwlist allow to initiate scanning and list frequencies, bit-rates, encryption keys...
- iwspy allow to get per node link quality
- iwpriv allow to manipulate the Wireless Extensions specific to a driver (private)
- ifrename allow to name interfaces based on various static criteria
To scan for available networks use the iwlist command.
Code:iwlist wlan0 scan
I'm not a code monkey, so I can't help you with that.Quote:

I haven't coded for a long time, but a simple subroutine to issue the command and put the results into a variable you can use later should do it.
