Exactly... a generic interface to this values would be great.

At least the bandwith should be directly available from the bandwith=20
algorithm. Signal strength might be a little bit more tricky, but a=20
value "average signal strength within the last 100 ms/1s" would be much=
=20
easier to use than to parse a value for each incoming package.
