Quite straightforward BUT unfortunately there are multiple flavours of
802.11b drivers. If your hardware doesn't work with the wlan driver,

/proc/net/wireless for statistics reporting.

Unfortunately, there is no page for Wireless information in the Wiki.
You can probably get some useful information by searching for
"Wireless" in the Wiki search.
