The wireless configuration of the network can be examined using the iwconfig eth0 command. It offers MAC layer information such as:

ESSID
- olpc-mesh : Indicates a mesh with or without internet connectivity
Mode
- Managed : It is an Access Point(AP) configuration
- Ad-hoc : It is a mesh configuration(no infrastracture)
Frequency
- 2.412 : Channel 1
- 2.437 : Channel 6
- 2.462 : Channel 11
- Media lab AP operates on Channels 6 and 11
Cell/AP Mac
- Access Point : The AP's MAC
- Cell : A virtual 02:xx:xx:... MAC address assigned by the some mesh points. It indicated mesh conffiguration
