A Linux Wireless Guru in Linux Forums. It creates a readable text file in /home that you can read in leafpad or geany. I thought I would post this as we get quite a few questions about Wireless in AntiX from new Members. It is a good tool to use like any wrench in a tool box.
To show what it prints out. Here is my generated text file for my IBM T23 Latop running AntiX 8.5 full.

Maybe you guys like Secipolla or anyone else good with scripting could improve this below uploaded script to include inxi -F in the script. Just a thought is all.
