John Baldwin 85618dc8e8 Fix various issues with wireless information under FreeBSD: - Instead of hoping that the currently associated AP will show up as the first AP in the list of scan results, fetch the BSSID of the currently associated AP and use that to fetch station info for the AP. This provides more frequently updated signal strength information than scan results and reliably provides information when multiple APs are in range. - Do not treat the RSSI value as a raw signal value in dBm. Instead, use the same formula as ifconfig(8) to compute a signal value. - Do not report the beacon interval value as a signal quality level.		2015-09-15 13:39:01 -07:00

i3status is a small program (about 1500 SLOC) for generating a status bar for
i3bar, dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by
issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally wants to update
such a status line every second. This ensures that even under high load, your
status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging
your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.

i3status has the following dependencies:
 • libconfuse-dev
 • libyajl-dev
 • libasound2-dev
 • libiw-dev
 • libcap2-bin (for getting network status without root permissions)
 • asciidoc (only for the documentation)
 • libpulse-dev (for getting the current volume using PulseAudio)

On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libcap2-bin libpulse-dev
