As to this part of your question.. I don't personally know of any applets
exactly.. and kismet is more for finding wireless networks you aren't suppose
to find, and logging them all (Oh man, that list goes on.. kismet does so much
more, but has nothing to do with my answer for you.. so i wont get into it)
iwlist wlan0 scan
This will give you everything it can see, what their SSID's are, what their
mode is, bit rates offered, quality/signal/noise, operating channel, and of
course MAC address.
This command also works even under NDIS wrapper if you're using 802.11g with
windows drivers on linux.
