What we are after is the status of the ath1 or wifi0 interface which can be got via ifconfig on the device.  OpManager is running on windows.  Not sure where to start but it sounds like we want to run the ifconfig on the device and parse the output for "up" appearing close to/within one line of "ath0"

An idea of how to do this will give me clues to look at other stats from the device eg with the athstats command which gives detailed packet stats for the wifi interface.

 

Output of ifconfig below
