Hi,
I am looking for a way to get the RSSI of the SELECTED network with
the wpa_supplicant (2.1). To update periodically the status connection
icon of my app.
I known that I can get it with the command: 'bss <bssid>' but it seems
that this information is updated only when perform a scan.
Have I miss something simpler than doing a background scan on the freq
of the SELECTED network ?
Regards,
Jean-Marie Lemetayer

Try the SIGNAL_POLL control interface command (called "signal_poll" for
wpa_cli).

It looks great! The AVG_RSSI is all I need. Thanks
