man ifconfig:
chan [n]
Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used for IEEE
802.11-based wireless network interfaces to n.
With no channel specified, show the results of an access point
scan. In Host AP mode, this will dump the list of known nodes
without scanning.

Hi,
Happily running a laptop on OpenBSD - but I am a first time wifi-er.
I have no trouble connecting to a _known_ SSID, but I would like to
find out which wifi networks are within my reach.
I did man/search archives but no luck there - I've seen monitoring mode
- can set my card to it, which seems a good direction towards my goal.
But I simply not have a clue what to do next... ?
All I need to be able to do is see what networks are available when out
and about, nothing more.
Obviously I am not the only user with this wish - so I am probably
missing something extremely obvious :-(
(Running 4.5 snapshot with onboard iwi0 - but also have external rum0
and ral0 cards available).
Thanks!
Matt
