DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the prismstumbler command.

       prismstumbler  is  a  wireless  LAN  discovery  tool  which  scans  for
       beaconframes from accesspoints. It  operates  by  constantly  switching
       channels  and  monitors  any  frames received on the currently selected
       channel.  prismstumbler is designed to find as much  information  about
       wireless  LAN  installations  as  possible.  It  comes with a GTK2 user
       interface  and  uses  an  embedded  SQL  database  to   store   network
       information. It is able to create networks lists in GPSdrive format and
       store captured packages to pcap dump files.
