c - Wireless-tools for linux to scan for wireless devices without them being connected -


is possible use wifi router scan existing wireless-capable devices (e.g. smartphones) have wi-fi enabled on scanning mode, not connected anyone.

my ultimate goal using openwrt on tp-link wireless router , scanning mobile phone devices in surrounding area.

so can done without them connecting device? using wireless-tools, libiw library?

thanks

what want called "passive scanning". de-facto standard linux utility kismet, distribution's package manager has package. depending on used hardware may work in parallel acting regular router. mose w-lan interfaces can not operate in passive mode , master mode @ same time.
