+wifi_scanner
+===========
+
+Small cross-distribution helper to scan Wi‑Fi networks from the command line.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+1. Install dependencies on Linux host (if missing):
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install network-manager iw wireless-tools
+```
+
+2. Run the CLI:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m wifi_scanner.cli
+```
