A simple python script for displaying local wifi channel usage vs. signal strength, for interference avoidance.

You'll probably need to run with root access to get proper wifi access point information.

That is,

wifi-channels.py <interface>

will bag you a display like

Screen shot of wifi_channels.py

that updates every 5s or so.

The x-axis is the wifi channel. The y is some indicator of signal strength (to be precise, it's 100 + the dBm).
