The new config system doesn't appear to provide me with the MAC Address (BSSID) of my WRT54GL radio -- it's not defined in /etc/config/wireless.  With WhiteRussian I could always use "nvram get il0macaddr".

What is the official method of determining this value with Kamikaze?  (I could parse "ifconfig wl0", or "cat /proc/net/wl0" but those methods feel too fuzzy.)

I am converting over from WhiteRussian and its going quite well.  Other than adjusting my init scripts, the only other change so far is redoing some scripts that used to interact with nvram.  Hence my question.

Thanks OpenWRT team for all your fine efforts.

It's still in nvram.

The discussion might have continued from here.
