whatismywifi
A small Linux command-line tool that summarizes the Wi-Fi capabilities of the
local adapter and the characteristics of the currently active link, by parsing
the output of iw phy and iw dev <iface> link / station dump.
Inspired by wiisfi.com — it doesn't just dump the numbers, it explains what they mean.
Requirements
- Linux
- Python 3.7+
iw(fromiproute2/iwpackage)
