At the moment we are moving towards using layer 2 data for our routing metric and I'm looking for a cheap (in terms of cpu power) way to get the signal strength and bandwith of each link to the neighbors of the node. I know both values could be measured by using a raw socket with radiotap header, but this consumes much too much cpu power on embedded routers. I looked at the implementation of the "iw" command, but it does not contain the necessary information for our metric experiments. Do you think it would be possible to include this values into the nl80211 interface ? Is there another way (debugfs?) to get this values I overlooked ?
