I'm not sure if I'm understanding the way the data is represented. I'm
pulling it via nl80211 (or even if just using iw to poll the values
regularly). They just appear to go back and forwards in time, as well
as being very large values. Am I missing something? Is the count not
supposed to be the amount of time for the measure since the card was
brought up?
Also, what does the 'channel time' value actually mean by 'time the
station spent on this channel'? How is this different to the 'Channel
busy time'? If it's not just busy time, but time the station was
locked on this channel, why is the value FAR smaller than the channel
busy time...?
Thanks,
