## Limits of the tool
There is no such thing as perfect software and this is all the more true when the tools used require different
access rights depending on
the operating system. Please note the following restrictions
before using this tool in a productive system.
**Linux**: iwlist does only return all found networks if run as sudo! Otherwise you'll
get only the network you're connected to.
**Windows**: there are some network cards which do not
return the MAC address and other parameters of the found networks. In this case
the "found" networks are ignored as there is no valuable data. If you have this effect
on your system, please provide as many information about your system (PC manufacturer, network
card, OS,...) as available. Thanks
