Hi Ben,
yes, I tried, it shows signal value but not link quality :(
Link 'quality' is mostly just a made-up number anyway. Signal quality
is probably the most similar value, but tx and rx bitrates give you the
best idea of how RF is performing in my opinion. Those rates are only
accurate when sending at least modest amounts of packets though.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi everyone,
I am trying to get link quality information from an 802.11ac interface and it looks like
the only way is to use "iw wlan2 scan". I don't like this solution as
it scans all channels and takes a while.
If I try "cat /proc/net/wireless" (this would be my preferred option) the
output is empty and I am not able to get this information with any other tool. Below
is the output for some commands I tried.
I am using kernel 4.2 with ath10k and Candela firmware 10.1 on a Qualcomm
Atheros QCA988x
Any ideas on how can I get the link quality information?
Did you try:
iw dev wlan0 station dump
If you want tx rate reporting, you need to run my driver patches as well
as my firmware, but rx-rate should be reported with stock driver
(and stock firmware, for that matter)...
Thanks,
Ben
