A thing one, errm, I, shouldn't do :-) The event that Helmut's code could send could be containing the current quality. For now, it could be just sent in case of "lost AP" condition, but we, errm, you, could later submit a patch that would periodically send this event according to your suggested schedule or something more cleverer (e.g. only send it when it significantly changes from the last-sent value, there's no need to have periodicity here). A flag would could then define other things beside the quality, e.g. a FLAG_LOST_AP or FLAG_LOST_BEACON or whatever fit's into the nl80211 model (which I'm don't know in detail). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
