+wavemon (Wavemon 802.11 monitor)
+
+wavemon is an ncurses-based monitoring application for wireless
+network devices.
+
+It allows you to watch the signal and noise levels, packet statistics,
+device configuration, and network parameters of your wireless network
+hardware.
+
+It was originally developed by Jan Morgenstern.
+
+If you use a filesystem that supports posix capabilities, an easy way to
+start wavemon as a normal user, while still providing it with all of the
+access permissions it requires, is by issuing the following command as root:
+# setcap cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/wavemon
