Questions tagged [openwrt]

A GNU/Linux based firmware program for embedded devices such as residential gateways and routers.

The OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Linux find WiFi Networks protocol (a/b/g/n) version of all available access points

I do use iwlist wlan0 scanning and it gives me a fair amount of data, but one part is missing: It is the protocol version. By protocol I mean (a/b/g/n). It would be very good to have these commands in a standard distro. I am using OpenWRT.
