Anyone has done a C program to get the statistics from the file
/proc/net/prism2/wlan#/stats?(since this seems the only way to get traffic
statistics from the prism2 driver).
I know that this is maybe an off-topic but I am not an expert C programmer ;) I've read the lines of the file, but then I got the description of the parameter and the value in the same string! E.g:
TxUnicastFrames=1705
I want to get the name of the parameter (TxUnicastFrames) and its value (1705).
Thanks,
