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

- Wellenreiter - GTKPerl Wireless discovery/penetration/monitoring tool.
http://www.remote-exploit.org/
- Wellenreiter is a GTK/Perl program that makes the discovery and auditing of 802.11b wireless networks much easier. It has an embedded statistics engine for the common parameters provided by wireless drivers, enabling you to view details about the consistency and signal strength of the network. Its scanner window can be used to discover access-points, networks, and ad-hoc cards. It detects essid broadcasting or non-broadcasting networks in every channel, the manufacturer, WEP, and automatically-switching frequencies. A flexible sound event connfiguration lets you work in unattended environments. A logwindow helps to track the net scanning. A ethereal / tcpdump compatible dumpfile can be created for the whole session, so detailed analysis at another location is easy. Wellenreiter can reside on low-resolution devices that can run GTK/Perl and Linux/BSD (such as iPaqs).

GWiFiApplet - This project aims to create a GNOME-based panel applet and management tool to manage wireless network cards that support Linux wireless extensions.
- Korinoco - KDE Clone of the Orinoco client manager for Windows
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.
