I've got a Buffalo/Melco AP. It comes with a win utility to discover it
through broadcast packets. I'd like to get that info from linux.
I see they exchange info via udp broadcasts and that, in the AP answer,
ESSID starts at byte 80, ip at 32, plus some more info.
Is this a kind of standard communication protocol, so that I can find
pre-made perl scripts that will show me all the output pretty formatted, or
will I have to make my own scripts... ?
I need to get the info on a linux system that uses a non-wireless nic.
Thanks
