Check out the wireless tools, which include:
wireless-tools: This package contains tools and a library used for 
configuring
wireless-tools: wireless networking interfaces:
wireless-tools:   iwconfig (the main wireless tool),  iwlist (display 
more detailed
wireless-tools:   information than iwconfig),  iwspy (get stats per MAC 
address and
wireless-tools:   more),  iwpriv (set driver private ioctls),  iwgetid 
(show the
wireless-tools:   ESSID or NWID of a device),  iwevent (display wireless 
events),
wireless-tools:   ifrename (rename a network interface).

or also ap-utils, which can control atmel based access points.
