Usage: iw [options] command Options: --debug enable netlink debugging --version show version (3.17) Commands: help [command] Print usage for all or a specific command, e.g. "help wowlan" or "help wowlan enable". event [-t] [-r] [-f] Monitor events from the kernel. -t - print timestamp -r - print relative timstamp -f - print full frame for auth/assoc etc. features commands list all known commands and their decimal & hex value phy list List all wireless devices and their capabilities. phy info Show capabilities for the specified wireless device. dev List all network interfaces for wireless hardware. dev info Show information for this interface. dev del Remove this virtual interface dev interface add type [mesh_id ] [4addr on|off] [flags *] phy interface add type [mesh_id ] [4addr on|off] [flags *] Add a new virtual interface with the given configuration. Valid interface types are: managed, ibss, monitor, mesh, wds.

When fixed frequency is requested, don't join/create a cell on a different frequency. When a fixed BSSID is requested use that BSSID and do not adopt another cell's BSSID even if it has higher TSF and the same SSID. If an IBSS is created, create it with the specified basic-rates, multicast-rate and beacon-interval. dev ibss leave Leave the current IBSS cell. dev station dump List all stations known, e.g. the AP on managed interfaces dev station set mesh_power_mode Set link-specific mesh power mode for this station dev station set vlan Set an AP VLAN for this station. dev station set plink_action Set mesh peer link action for this station (peer). dev station del Remove the given station entry (use with caution!) dev station get Get information for a specific station. dev survey dump List all gathered channel survey data dev mesh leave Leave a mesh. dev mesh join [[freq

Each pattern is given as a bytestring with '-' in places where any byte may be present, e.g. 00:11:22:-:44 will match 00:11:22:33:44 and 00:11:22:33:ff:44 etc. Offset and pattern should be separated by '+', e.g. 18+43:34:00:12 will match '43:34:00:12' after 18 bytes of offset in Rx packet. The TCP configuration file contains: source=ip[:port] dest=ip:port@mac data= data.interval=seconds [wake=] [data.seq=len,offset[,start]] [data.tok=len,offset,] phy coalesce show Show coalesce status. phy coalesce disable Disable coalesce. phy coalesce enable Enable coalesce with given configuration. The configuration file contains coalesce rules: delay= condition= patterns=<[offset1+],<[offset2+],...> delay= condition= patterns=<[offset1+],<[offset2+],...> ... delay: maximum coalescing delay in msec. condition: 1/0 i.e. 'not match'/'match' the patterns patterns: each pattern is given as a bytestring with '-' in places where any byte may be present, e.g. 00:11:22:-:44 will match 00:11:22:33:44 and 00:11:22:33:ff:44 etc. Offset and pattern should be separated by '+', e.g. 18+43:34:00:12 will match '43:34:00:12' after 18 bytes of offset in Rx packet. dev roc start wdev p2p stop wdev p2p start phy set antenna | all | Set a bitmap of allowed antennas to use for TX and RX. The driver may reject antenna configurations it cannot support. dev set txpower [] Specify transmit power level and setting type. phy set txpower [] Specify transmit power level and setting type. phy set distance Enable ACK timeout estimation algorithm (dynack) or set appropriate coverage class for given link distance in meters. To disable dynack set valid value for coverage class. Valid values: 0 - 114750 phy set coverage Set coverage class (1 for every 3 usec of air propagation time). Valid values: 0 - 255. phy set netns Put this wireless device into a different network namespace phy set retry [short ] [long ] Set retry limit. phy set rts Set rts threshold. phy set frag Set fragmentation threshold. dev set channel [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] phy set channel [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] dev set freq [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] dev set freq [20|40|80|80+80|160] [] [] phy set freq [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] Set frequency/channel the hardware is using, including HT configuration. phy set name Rename this wireless device. dev set mcast_rate Set the multicast bitrate. dev set peer Set interface WDS peer. dev set noack_map Set the NoAck map for the TIDs.

Valid interface types are: managed, ibss, monitor, mesh, wds. dev set meshid dev set monitor * Set monitor flags. Valid flags are: none: no special flags fcsfail: show frames with FCS errors control: show control frames otherbss: show frames from other BSSes cook: use cooked mode active: use active mode (ACK incoming unicast packets) dev set mesh_param = [=]* Set mesh parameter (run command without any to see available ones). dev set power_save Set power save state to on or off. dev set bitrates [legacy-<2.4|5> *] [ht-mcs-<2.4|5> *] [vht-mcs-<2.4|5> *] [sgi-2.4|lgi-2.4] [sgi-5|lgi-5] Sets up the specified rate masks. Not passing any arguments would clear the existing mask (if any). dev get mesh_param [] Retrieve mesh parameter (run command without any to see available ones). dev get power_save Retrieve power save state. Commands that use the netdev ('dev') can also be given the 'wdev' instead to identify the device. You can omit the 'phy' or 'dev' if the identification is unique, e.g. "iw wlan0 info" or "iw phy0 info". (Don't when scripting.) Do NOT screenscrape this tool, we don't consider its output stable.
