I'd like to be able to scan for wifi access points in C# on a linux platform. On windows I can use WiFiAdapter. Is there something similar that can be used on linix

    Hi @Eli Stein ,Welcome to Q&A.

    From my investigation, using iwlist might be what you are looking for.

    The iwlist command can list all the wireless network cards in the current system and all the wireless networks they can detect.

    Best Regards,
