WlanFE is a GTK+ based GUI frontend for the wlan-ng 802.11b wireless lan driver for Linux. It allows you to change you SSID, your Channel, between Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc mode, and more.

LORCON - Loss Of Radio CONnectivity

The LORCON packet injection library provides a high level interface to transmit IEEE 802.11 packets onto a wireless medium. Written for Linux systems, this architecture simplifies the development of 802.11 packet injection through an abstraction layer, making the development of auditing and assessment tools driver- independent. Using LORCON, developers can write tools that inject packets onto the wireless network without writing driver-specific code, simply by asking the user to identify the driver name they are currently using for a specified interface.

MadWifi is short for Multiband Atheros Driver for Wireless Fidelity. In other words: this project provides a Linux kernel device driver for Atheros-based Wireless LAN devices. The driver works such that your WLAN card will appear as a normal network interface in the system. Additionally there is support for the Wireless Extensions API. This allows you to configure the device using common wireless tools (ifconfig, iwconfig and friends).

MAPI is a general API for interfacing with any device driver that supports the wireless extensions. It is based on the wireless extensions and Wireless Tools. The current version of the API can be used to get most of the information provided by the wireless tools (iwspy, iwconfig, iwpriv.)

The Wireless Tools is a set of tools allowing to manipulate the Wireless Extensions. They use a textual interface and are rather crude, but aim to support the full Wireless Extension.

- iwconfig manipulate the basic wireless parameters
- iwlist (formerly part of iwspy) allow to list addresses, frequencies, bit-rates...
- iwspy allow to get per node link quality
- iwpriv allow to manipulate the Wireless Extensions specific to a driver (private)
