For serious snooping, use kismet. I don't know whether it's accessible 
via usual Fedora repos, but it is a seriously handy diagnostic (and 
snooping) tool.

iwlist tells you what it can see at this instant. kismet tells you what 
it's seen, can announce (by synthetic speech) new stations, it can 
uncloak hidden stations etc etc.
