Just noticed a little quirk in wicontrol... I try to track the signal
strength information (great for tracking microwave use as well) in mrtg by
parsing the output from `wicontrol -C`... However I noticed today that it
had flatlined, and determined that the cache was not being flushed
properly.
[morganw@volatile:/usr/local/etc/mrtg$]: wicontrol -C
[1/2]: 00:02:2d:04:df:e4, 192.168.0.252, sig: -82, noise: -95, qual: 13
[2/2]: 00:05:5d:ed:ce:67, 192.168.0.254, sig: -86, noise: -96, qual: 10
The first entry was for my card, which is now not within 1000 miles of
this machine :)... Why is it still holding this information 3 days later?
