Iwpriv Usage

This document provides detailed explanations of the parameters for the iwpriv and iwlist commands in Linux. It describes how to use iwpriv to configure various wireless settings like SSID, authentication/encryption, channels, and power saving mode. It also gives examples of different authentication/encryption configurations. Iwlist is described as listing scanning results. Basic wireless settings that can be configured with iwconfig like SSID, mode, and encryption are also outlined.
