I could not leave airodump in a proper way
* chopper.sh is actually a channel hopper script you can use together with airodump when wardriving.

* The essid is truncated to 20 characters to fit in a 80 column display. Indeed, when the window size is larger the full essid (32 bytes) can be displayed. I've added this in my TODO list.

* After 2mn of inactivity, the discovered APs are hidden; this feature is especially helpful when wardriving. Note that when you exit airodump, it saves the complete list of detected Access Points in CSV format.

* airodump detects when the user presses Ctrl-C and exits gracefully.
