Sorry Dave, I missed your response (I am not subscribed to the
list). In your response you say:

"AP clients do not send beacons."

My question then should be: what would be the best way to have a
continuosly updating RSSI of the AP clients from the APs?

I thought I could simply have the APs sending broadcast pings, but it
didn't work, I don't get replies (is this normal?).

As a last resort I could keep the AP clients pinging continuosly, but
that would be ugly and messy (requires installing a script on the AP
client).

TIA,
