Modified 'iwconfig' from the Wireless Tools package for use in the Low Cost Wireless Network project located at http://www.gbppr.org. Mostly used as a graphical display when setting up network links. * Original code is at, http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html * Runs in a 80 column console mode supporting ANSI color codes. * define COLOR in the Makefile for color output. * define SLEEP in iwconfig.c to set refresh rate. * Tested *ONLY* with the old style 915 MHz WaveLAN ISA card. * Just type 'make' then run './wavelan eth?' where eth? is the device name of your WaveLAN. * May not be very accurate. Use at your own risk. pinger.pl ~~~~~~~~~ 'pinger.pl' is a signal strength meter that uses the ping command and can be used for wireless network antenna link testing. It's just a perl wrapper for the 'ping' command and converts the output millisecond display into a bar graph. It also generates the file 'ping.out' which contains the ping millisecond ouput along with the date: 137.2 | Thu Dec 30 09:25:39 1999 122.7 | Thu Dec 30 09:25:40 1999 113.2 | Thu Dec 30 09:25:41 1999 113.6 | Thu Dec 30 09:25:42 1999 ... which you can use to make graphs of your link status.
