# wlancfg(8)

manupulate linux-wlan-ng MIB values

## NAME

wlancfg - manupulate linux-wlan-ng MIB values

## SYNOPSIS

**wlancfg query dev**

**wlancfg show dev \[all\]**

**wlancfg set dev**

**wlancfg list**

**wlancfg version**

## DESCRIPTION

The wlancfg utility program provides an alternative method to **wlanctl-ng (1)** , for manipulating MIB values.  It was designed to provide an easier mechanism for saving and restoring the complete wireless configuration (i.e. when re-starting the device driver) and to provide a more efficient mechanism for GUI's to query multiple MIB's.

## OPTIONS

- **dev**

  The name of the device (e.g., wlan0).

- **query**

  Read MIB names (separated by whitespace) from stdin and output their values (separated by carriage returns) to stdout.  The MIB's may be either read/write or read-only.

- **show**

  Query the values of all supported read/write MIB's and output their values (separated by carriage returns) to stdout. The syntax of the output will be:\
     name=value

  If the "all" parameter is specified, then all supported MIB's (i.e. read-only MIB's as well) are output.

- **set**

  Read MIB name/value pairs (separated by carriage returns) from stdin and set the values of the specified MIB's.  The pairs must have the same syntax as above.  The MIB's must be read/write.

- **list**

  Display a list of all supported MIB's.

- **version**

  Display the compiled version of wlancfg.
