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.
