The changes themselves may be otherwise fine, but I cannot accept use of
iwlib either from licensing view point or from the view point of it
using the wireless extensions that has been deprecated for years.

This functionality should fetch signal strength information through
wpa_supplicant (not directly from the driver) to make this more
portable. For example, see the SIGNAL_POLL control interface command.
