I wrote this for FreeBSD when I worked as network administrator in
wireless driven ISP. It uses ancontrol/wicontrol to gather stats so it
is not the best solution. It can easily be redone with proper
ioctl()s. By the time this code was written there were only Cisco and
Prism based WiFi cards and it supports them. New can be added with
minor design change.
The code is BSD licensed, anyone can use it. I posted the links
because it could be helpful for someone writing WiFi Browser :)
