Another idea here is to have some command like "iw station dump" ->
"iwpan node dump" which contains all "neighbors" (some table entries
which expires after xx time) and their addresses, lqi value, etc.

This could be useful to offer some "generic interface" for upcomming
metric routing strategies, or whatever you want to do with these
information.
