it would be very nice to include that in an (from user-perspective)
hardware independant way. please post a link to your scripts and
i will think about an interface.

nbd: ATM there is no easy way to get a signal strength from
a any/madwifi/mac80211-wifi, something like:

wifi_rssi ()
{
        local DEV="$WIFIDEV"
        local NEIGHBOUR_MAC="$1"

        some_driver_specific_magic()

        echo "$RSSI"            # maybe: return $POSITIVE_INTEGER
}

or? this is also needed for GSM/UMTS-related stuff.
how to begin?

bye, Bastian
