Hi.  I'm new to OpenWRT and looking to develop software in C++ for it. 

I'm using a WRT54GL with the Kamikaze 2.4 kernel version, and there are a couple of things I'd like to be able to do programatically from C++.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting these stats programatically, or via a command line tool that I can gather the output from?

1. Detect all WIFI networks in range, their signal strengths and the amount of traffic currently flowing on each.  I don't need to delve into the data itself, just find out how active each network is.

2. Detect overall current network usage on the 4 LAN ports collectively.

Thanks

Check out MAPI, which is a API for interacting with drivers that support Wireless Extensions.
