   Interesting.

   DOES show a number of "cells" ... but not the ESSID of
   my extender for some reason.

   In theory, this sort of data could be used by a
   relatively simple daemon to switch back and
   forth to the 'best' signal. The old CL stuff
   is fine ... but can sometimes be replaced by
   half a dozen lines of more-comprehensible Python.
