I have a Angstrom linux device as an access point, running hostapd, dhcpd, works fine. Can I get a list of devices connected to the wifi? I know I can get the DHCP leases, but I need to know which devices connect through wlan0. I've tried this:

iwlist has options: iwlist wlan0 ap iwlist wlan0 accesspoints iwlist wlan0 peers but all return: wlan0 Interface doesn't have a list of Peers/Access-Points

iwconfig, iwgetid, iwpriv and iwspy are also present in /sbin but don't seem to have options to display the client list.

You should use iw dev wlan0 station dump as root

Thanks - I don't see this for my Arm 9 Angstrom yet, but I'll go look for it – Jeff Jun 10 '12 at 15:04
Perhaps you can compile from source, assuming you have enough space or a CF for temporary storage – Mike Pennington Jun 10 '12 at 22:01
