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 For BSS mode: 'wicontrol -C' shows nothing 'wicontrol -l' shows outdated stats (it does not changed when link quality changed) 'wicontrol -L' or -LL shows actual stats, but in this case it does reconnection to AP and it affects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. -- Vladimir B.
