Do we really need all those counters? Wouldn't it be better to iterate
over active interfaces instead?

Well, I like the counters.  If they ever do not match
expected results, it will be a clue that we have bugs
in our setup/teardown/change logic.

Seems we use counters like this for ath5k with good
results, btw.

if (!ieee80211_is_beacon(fc) ||
- compare_ether_addr(hdr->addr3, common->curbssid))
+ compare_ether_addr(hdr->addr3, common->curbssid)) {
+ /* TODO: This doesn't work well if you have stations
+ * associated to two different APs because curbssid
+ * is just the last AP that any of the stations associated
+ * with.
+ */
return;
+ }

if (rx_stats->rs_rssi != ATH9K_RSSI_BAD&& !rx_stats->rs_moreaggr)
ATH_RSSI_LPF(aphy->last_rssi, rx_stats->rs_rssi);
Checking for the STA opmode is correct, this code should not be used for
STA+AP. For the multi-STA case, it may make sense to process the RSSI
average per vif and using the minimum for ANI.

Ok.  I'll leave that alone for now.

Thanks,
Ben
