Date: Mon, 16 May 2011 14:22:22 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Message-Id: <201105161422.22323.david.goodenough@btconnect.com> (sfid-20110516_154910_246603_D21463C6) Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I know I can get the bitrate using iwconfig or iw for a given wireless card, but I was wondering if it was exposed anywhere in /proc or /sys. I looked but could not find it, which either means I looks in the wrong place or that it is not there. If it is not there is a good reason why not? I ask because on my little embedded boards starting apps like iwconfig or iw takes while, and I would rather get right to the data. David
