Hi,

In a bit more detail. ( thanks huberf)

This patch adds the "list scan" command to give a list of all WLAN APs
in the area. for device <if>:

ifconfig <if> list scan

should give you a list of APs in the area.

From the FreeBSD manpage:

    list scan
            Display the access points and/or ad-hoc neighbors located in the
            vicinity.  The -v flag may be used to display long SSIDs.  This
            information may be updated automatically by the adaptor and/or
            with a scan request.  list ap is another way of requesting this
            information.


Thanks,
