This "might" be better after looking at the
comments...I use it, and it does not "map", but does tell me
what is available and how strong the signal is, and the SSID:

Seems like something easily done in python. Â This does require gps
so thinking it would be better as an android app.

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.  :)

I've been working on a wireless project for months, and looked around
for things oss like heatmapping, rtls function, etc, and there's nothing
too well baked to use production-wise aside from some half-baked,
minimally existing projects on sourceforge.

Seems commercial software like Aruba Airwave, Cisco WLS/Prime,
Ekahau, etc have the lock on things from that
perspective.

I ran across this article:



http://www.howtogeek.com/165614/how-to-create-a-wi-fi-heatmap-for-network-analysis-better-coverage-and-geek-cred-galore/


which shows doing a very nifty wifi map of your space. Â
Unfortunately it

uses a windows only program from Ekahau called HeatMap. Â I did a
little

web searching for a Linux equivalent program but have not found
anything

that included the mapping function. Â Does anyone know of
one?
