Hi Ravi,
I agree to the case.
The reasons why you might not see much through in wmwave through iw-dev is
explained in the page you linked.
"while cfg80211 still has some backward compatibility support, and a few
ancient drivers still support only wireless extensions, everything else has
long moved on and doesn't support anything but the most basic features with
wireless extensions."
You said "There are various projects now to display statistical information
about a current wireless ethernet connection" and while that is true, wavemon
comes to mind. None of them is dockapp style widget.
But even that is indirectly available e.g. as gkrellmwireless which is way more
common and poviding a similar use case.
So yes, unmaintained, using a deprecated interface and alternatives
available.
** Changed in: wmwave (Ubuntu)
