Hello,

I want to gather link information (e.g. signal quality) between all nodes in my ad hoc wireless network. But when I run iwspy (ubuntu hardy), I get this message: "iwspy Interface doesn't support wireless statistic collection".
Is there a way to overcome this problem? I am using the standard WLAN drivers for Intel Centrino 2 wireless cards.

Regards,

couldn't you just

$ crontab -e
and add " /5 * * * * iwconfig wlan0 | grep Link >> linkquality.log "
then ctrl+x y to exit and save
then it should create a file called linkquality.log with
Link Quality=91/100 Signal level=-40 dBm Noise level=-75 dBm
and then add a new line every 5 min

no, because I do not need the overall link quality (which is returned by iwconfig / iwlist) but the link quality to each ad-hoc peer.

I have the same problem...
But i don't know if there is a problem with wireless card drivers...
