Dear Pavel, all,
thank you for your answer! I'm not very familiar with NIC drivers and so I'd like to ask you for a help.
I'm using Linksys WPC11 ver.3 NIC... as you said, it's necessary to see how many info are available from firmware... I agree, but do you think it's possible to find documentation on firmware output? I couldn't find any.
I think you should have dealt with this info (firmware interface to upper layers) since you wrote source code for Linux driver..
What is the latest Orinoco driver version supported by kernel 2.4.20?
Thank you again.
Best reagards,
Roberto

I think you chose a wrong driver. The orinoco driver relies on the
firmware for all low-lever operations.

The statistics is already collected, but all the measurements are done
the firmware. It the firmware doesn't provide some data, there is no
way for the driver to extract it.
