Subject: Access Channel Utilization

Hi,

I'm trying to access the phy-layer stats that were recently added to
cfg80211 and nl80211. I'm using a modified version of iw as per this
patch:
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/package/iw/patches/110-survey_phy_stats.patch

Unfortunately, the utilization stats don't appear to be getting sent
back. I'm using ath5k as the underlying driver.

Thanks for the help,

This reverts commit 2f5155b69eca2a62a5defb15762019486a638a88.

Ah - the patch was reverted. Any reason why this was done?
