Hi everyone,

I am trying to get link quality information from an 802.11ac interface 
and it looks like the only way is to use "iw wlan2 scan". I don't like 
this solution as it scans all channels and takes a while.

If I try "cat /proc/net/wireless" (this would be my preferred option) 
the output is empty and I am not able to get this information with any 
other tool. Below is the output for some commands I tried.

I am using kernel 4.2 with ath10k and Candela firmware 10.1 on a 
Qualcomm Atheros QCA988x

Any ideas on how can I get the link quality information?

Thanks,

Inaki
