When I do a 'cat /proc/net/wireless', the following is printed: Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 20 wmaster0: 0000 100. 0. 0. 0 0 0 0 0 0 wlan1: 0000 100. -26. -67. 0 0 0 0 0 0 Based on the numbers obtained using bcm43xx-softmac for my interface, the numbers for level and noise for wlan1 are what I expected (in dBm). The link value has not yet been finished. The main problem is that the wireless kicker applet for KDE, which I use for a display, is only looking at the first line, and never sees the wlan1 data - only the wmaster0 results. Is there some way to detect that the master interface is being interrogated, and return data for the attached STA instead? Thanks, Larry
