Answer:

The command is iwconfig (or ifconfig)

Step-by-step explanation:

To analyze a wireless network adapter in the Linux Terminal, the command you like to use is iwconfig (or ifconfig).

In windows, Ipconfig carrying out a similar function. It is important to note that iwconfig does not work in OS X, however, ifconfig does.

The Linux terminal is an app (that has a simple command-line interface). It performs the function of allowing a user to:

  • takes commands from the user, and
  • displays the output on the screen or monitor.
