Hi All,
    I modified the Lucent driver 'wavelan2_cs' to return the signal
strength from all the access points in range (i.e. all the information
like
the client manager for Windows.) plus some more features.

 The new driver (mwavelan_cs) and an API to interface with it (for
developpers) are availbale for download at:
 http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/moustafa

 Hope it helps,
    Moustafa
PS: I already modified the open source driver wvlan_cs to do the same
thing. I'm currently testing it on different platforms.  It will be
available for download shortly.
