there's the iwlist command. I put together an awk script to columnate
the data I cared about, and a cronjob that runs it analyzes it for
things i care about (like neighbors using my same or similar network
name, same frequencies, etc, and put it in a cronjob to log and email
me anomalies.
Works pretty well. I can share my script and awk if helpful
