Let me offer a different, non-Ethereal, answer, that I hope addresses your
question.
My company makes a program called WISPerMapper. It's a network monitoring and
alerting package that is designed to test the wireless gear that Wireless ISPs
use: the access points, subscriber modules, and backhauls, as well as the
routers, switches, servers, etc. When it detects trouble, it notifies via
sounds, pager, e-mail, or by running scripts.
WISPerMapper is specifically designed to monitor signal strength, noise,
traffic, etc. for a variety of wireless gear. It's also cross-platform, working
on Windows, Unix/Linux, and Macintosh. You can read more at
http://www.wispermapper.com.
I would be interested to learn more about your proposed application (off-list if
you prefer). Thanks!
