I noticed the MAX/AFTER_LAST comments are missing for most nl80211 enums. ;)
But I get this output on my local (2 card) ad-hoc network:
# ./iw dev wlan0 station dump
Station 00:1b:fc:91:7d:d2 (on wlan0)
inactive time: 52 ms
rx bytes: 207220
tx bytes: 1396
signal: -66 dBm
tx bitrate: 18.0 MBit/s
Patch for iw attached (based on git tree an hour ago). Of course the 802.11n
output part is only compile tested. Most of the patch is to put the new copy
of nl80211.h into iw (why does iw carry a copy of this file ?)
