Re: [Madwifi-devel] Problems scanning AdHoc Terminals. How to differentiate the radios? (I need the signal level)

[Douglas D. <dg...@gm...>]

Hi, thanks Vishal, that is exactly what I need. Do you know the
function in madwifi driver that update these variables? The contents
of /proc/net/madwifi/ath0/associated_sta only show the associated
stations and I want to see the not connected stations too (with the
device mac address). Do you know a simple way to do this?

Other question, do you know if I can see the interface's nickname when
I do a scan? This could simplify the scan result because each adhoc
interface in my network has a nickname (configured by iwconfig).

Thanks
