Hi ppl
Is the way to get last packet signal quality for not ad-hoc connection ?
For ad-hoc I can run 'wicontrol -C' and see link quality numbers for
last received packet.
For BSS mode:
'wicontrol -C' shows nothing
'wicontrol -l' shows outdated stats
(it does not changed when link quality changed)
'wicontrol -L' or -LL shows actual stats, but in this case it does
reconnection to AP and it affects throughput and delays.
So, how to get cached link quality (signal/strength) values while BSS
mode ?
My intention is very simple, I want to do fine tuning of antenna
direction while simple script does loop { show_wi_stats; sleep(0.5s); }
This is pretty easy for ad-hoc but I do not know how to do this for BSS.
