Right now I'm working on migrating from brcm-2.4 to brcm47xx which runs on the same routers and uses the newer open-source b43 driver. This makes use of the mac80211 subsystem, for which we already have support since ath9k uses this too.
OpenWrt trunk) and it's officially time to dump it in favor of brcm47xx.
This is very bad move. Too quick. Device which uses sflash on brcm-2.4 are not gonna work on brcm47xx eg. Motorola Wr850v2 and Ovislink Wl1600.
There is a my bug report:

Before Gargoyle I used DD-WRT, which uses the madwifi driver ath9k (TL-WR1043ND), which is unusable (slow speed and connection loss). That is one reason why I switched to the Gargoyle. I much prefer a stable wifi connection than color showing the signal strength, etc. ...

This is a great feature that was missing from Gargoyle and seems to be working well.
Would it be possible to add the signal quality for wds connected stations too?
Thanks

This is already possible.
Change the setup to DHCP Wireless for WAN and you can
scan all available AP's and you can see what channels are being used.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've never switched to client mode.
