NAME

       linssid-pkexec - graphical wireless scanner

DESCRIPTION

       LinSSID  runs  over  X  Window  and  displays locally receivable 802.11 wireless attach points and ad hoc
       networks.

       A table is displayed with various parameters such as MAC address, channel, and  signal  strength.  Graphs
       are also displayed with signal strength by channel and signal strength over time.

       LinSSID  is  graphically  and  functionally similar to inSSIDer (for Microsoft Windows) and Wifi Analyzer
       (for Android).

       LinSSID can be used to measure the local performance or to search for an interference free channel to  be
       set  in  a  wireless  router  (access  point).   The wireless established link won't be affected by these
       operations because LinSSID needn't set the monitor mode in network interface.

       Some features:

              •  Table of locally receivable attach points  with  many  columns  of  different  information  and
                 sortable and movable columns.

              •  Adjustable speed, real-time update.

              •  Graphs of signal strength by channel and over time.

              •  AP bandwidth displayed.

              •  Works on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.

RUNNING

       The  wireless  tools  that  LinSSID  uses  require  root  privilege to access. So, it uses policykit when
       running. To run, just type linssid-pkexec as non-root user.
