...well, iswpy alone doesn't do it since I currently need access to the
stats from a kernel module via a call to dev->get_wireless_stats()
call.  In any case, I temporarily kludged some code to suit my short
term needs (it looks like a car wreck between wireless_spy and
get_wireless_stats)

....but the question reamins:
  why would get_rid(....COMMSQUALITY...) not return valid data...?
