Clearfog pro 80211 protocol

1

Hy :slight_smile:

I look for a command lines which allow me to know
which protocol 80211 (b/n/ax …) supports my wifi interface.

Some people tell we can with iwconfig but i try i have it :

wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr=2347 B   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

wlp1s0    IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

wlP1p1s0  IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=-2147483648 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

Ieee line doesn"t return the protocol :frowning:

with lsusb or lspci, some driver give the protcole but not all :frowning:

Thanks by adavance.

You can list your hardware’s capabilities with iw phy. Things to look for are HT, VHT, HE and EHT for b/n, ac, ax and be.
Additionally you can see the supported MCS indices.

yeah iwconfig and ifconfig are basically older deprecated utilities. I generally recommend people learn ip and iw as that is where all the new technology is better supported.
