Looking for Linux Equivalent Program

[Dazed_75]

Lisa,

I did not try it in WINE.  I am just enough of a bigot to look for a pure
Linux solution first since I do not have a work project I need to complete.

https://github.com/cyberpython/WifiScanAndMap seems to indicate something
far from having a polished GUI and looks to be at a significantly lower map
resolution (though worth a look if nothing else turns up).

The Meraki FAQ (
http://meraki.cisco.com/products/wireless/wifi-mapper#faq) says "A:
WiFi Mapper requires Java support and does not currently support
Linux."

Michael,

Yep on the corner on the market.  Makes one thonk it could be a great
opportunity for a FOSS project.  :)
