This is mostly refactored from the WirelessLinks page which is now large enough that it's mostly useless. This page is for Linux client software which relates to wireless networking. -- AdamShand

WaveLan monitor - allows you to monitor all the wireless users connected to you. should also be useful for dumping info into mrtg/rrdtool for statistical analysis .
WaveLan doc apps - nice tools to monitor the signal strength of your connection.
- Wellenreiter - GTKPerl Wireless discovery/penetration/monitoring tool.
Wellenreiter is a gtkperl program that makes the discovery and the audit of 802.11b wireless-networks much easier. It has an embedded statistic engine for the common parameters provided by the wireless drivers which enables you to fetch the detail about the consistency and signal strength etc of the network. For discover accesspoints / networks / ad-hoc cards, Wellenreiter got an amazing easy scanner window. It searches for any accesspoint in the range of the scanning device. It detects and differs essid boradcasting or non-broadcasting wireless networks in every channel,doing frequency switching automaticly. The manufactor is detected by the devices MAC-Address. WEP detection is also implemented and Wellenreiter detects and differs wherever the beacon broadcasting machine is an true accesspoint or an AD-Hoc mode station.
