Maybe it's time that the Open-source community as a whole looks at a simple protocol to communicate quality data in a less-low level way?
While this might get close to re-inventing the wheel (when we allready have SNMP .. wait, ok, maybe we should reinvent the wheel), what other simple non-low-level ways are there to distribute far-end recieved signal information?
In my mind, the ideal way to get this data out there is through non-IP means, and resitricted to a single BSS (not a collected ESS full of repeaters and other vodoo).
