How can I get parameters from the wireless card driver using ioctl?
Hi. I'm new at wireless networking in linux. I want to get some parameters about the wireless link from the driver like the SSID, transmitted power, noise power, frequencies etc. using the IOCTL (or anything else for that matter, I just need the parameters) but I read that this is a way to go. Maybe somebody can provide some small examples or explanations, they would be highly appreciated. I have managed to extract some parameters from /proc/net/wireless with some Java code, but I need more that the parameters there (quality, signal, noise). If it is any importance, I have a asus eee pc 1000he with eeebuntu standard 3 on it, the device is an azurewave 802.11n wireless card. Thank you in advance.
