Extended the BSS type by adding both Signal Strength Values as present in the current
iwimplementation (v6.17) of the functionstatic int print_bss_handler(struct nl_msg *msg, void *arg)in [scan.c].(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/iw.git/tree/scan.c?h=v6.17)This especially improves the ScanResults received from
func (c *client) AccessPoints(ifi *Interface) ([]*BSS, error)which had been introduced in #117. It is now possible to sort the scan results by Signal Strength.Signal Strength in the netlink message is in mDb which allows for two significant figures after the decimal point in the unit dBm. Conversion is a Factor 100 as in the doc string. Storing the mBm as an int seems cleaner than adding a float for the dBm.
The program was tested solely for our own use cases, which might differ from yours.
